i have had domo pushed on me in a company and i did everything in my power to get us to cancel that subscription and we did. it was such a waste of money. If I was able to rebuild our entire reporting workflow in a month, imagine how fast it is to now do that with LLMs?

I don't believe LLMs make SAAS useless, but there are a subset of SAAS companies that AI truly does obviate. Among them are companies like DOMO, whose business model is best described as selling the fantasy of the "data-driven" org to leadership. They floated off the fumes of yesterday's hype. It's kind of painful to see how they're trying to inject themself into this cycle.

also what – chief design officer and futurist for DOMO?? what do they do? sorry to be a dick about it but a quote like "why aren't people more resentful that these companies have pushed this technology upon them" lacks a lot of self awareness lol.

Having used Domo in anger it is truly a terrible product with unclear edge cases and weird problems, it definitely feels its age at this point and for what it does using superset or some other oss tech would at least fail in ways you can debug.

Utah has a bit of a thing for "received knowledge", as the predominate culture tends to prime egos for prophetic wisdom. Add elitist competition with your local peers to the mix and you won't have to look far to find some...creative titles.

Gosh, haven't heard of Domo in years. I remember a previous company used it but I never had anything to do with the implementation. Based on some of the other silliness that company bought into, this now makes sense.
