This is actually very nice, thanks for posting.

Not sure this will save you time and money, but it is very comprehensive.

It’s Salesforce v2. A ridiculously expensive proprietary “easy-to-build” application platform with an ecosystem of ridiculously expensive consultants.

Salesforce v2 is a pretty bull case for Palantir! This bias people have against against application platforms requiring a consultant ecosystem and per-customer installations is just not accurate - in software, as in the rest of the world, there are some areas where it's the right model to get things done efficiently. Walmart can't use an off-the-shelf CRM platform any more than US Steel could use an off-the-shelf furnace.

US steel very infamously did not do any R&D and stuck to outmoded technology.

Never really occurred to me why Mr. Beast content doesn’t appeal to me (nor have I thought about it much)… their sole purpose is CTR. Makes sense. Lame.

For autocomplete, FROM first makes a lot of sense. For readability, SELECT first makes more sense because the output is always at the top.
