"PocketOS is a SaaS platform that services car rental businesses."

Does anyone like software as a service? How about we just own the software we buy and use? Claude and the cloud storage place that deleted the backup (ironic the Software as a service company was using cloud storage as a service), have done a good thing.

More corporate deletions please!

    Most companies don’t have the staff or experience required to keep applications running all the time.

    Yes, I know that this should be basic IT knowledge but I’ve found this sort of problem at dozens of companies throughout my career.

    So the offload the problems of high availability and disaster recovery to other folks and pay a monthly fee for it. Then they have someone else to blame when it goes down.

    SaaS is just a way to avoid responsibility.
