The Assumptions We Make and the Bundling and Unbundling of Software

The assumptions we make when using certain terms are fascinating. It reminds me of bundling and unbundling software, where you can either use one tool that does 80% of what you need, or buy five separate tools that each do a specific task. It feels like AI is heading in a similar direction. There was a consultant on Twitter who said they spent half their time teaching people how to use Excel as a database and the other half teaching people how to use a database as an Excel. It's also relevant to the no-code conversation, whether you use a general purpose tool or something custom built.
