God. Migrate to Salesforce was exactly the idea brought up by the sales side at a job of mine. I was on the IT side. Thank god we talked them down (plus they got sticker shock).

Some sales asks were legit and we got 'em done. Some were legit but low ROI and never done/priority even as sales had majority say in those priorities. Some were "please take this customer-hostile, flaky, human-explicitly-in-the-loop CRM workflow that has the thinnest veneer of plausibility above pure gaming of KPIs and insert it into a core product flow that's working well".

I think low code tools will continue to proliferate and I'm not against it. I do think they will be an interesting test of how much and in what contexts consumers are willing to accept half baked solutions. The capital environment this past decade has meant corporate leadership has been able to touch hot stoves without getting burned. Often they've been rewarded for it.
