Integrations are good. But most people don't need ALL integrations, there's just a couple that are show stoppers, and even then it probably doesn't integrate how you want it to. I think the future is a platform with a good data model that people can vibe code plugins on top of.

Most people don’t need all the integrations (I‘d even say most need very few).

But:

1. As companies grow, customers continue to want more integrations.

If you imagine a massive matrix of companies and all the tools they use, you need to expand the number of rows where your product is a viable solution.

This matters for implementation now (any tool must work with your stack) and for your long-term prospect of using a product since companies expect to migrate, add, or retire tooling.

2. I think the problem with a vibe-codeable plugin platform is “what is a good data model” because that depends principally on what a tool is for.
