RFS: Better Enterprise glue

  • Market Problem: Enterprise customers face the necessity of writing extensive custom code to connect purchased software with existing internal systems (e.g., data warehouses, HR databases).
  • "Dark Matter" Concept: This custom code is termed "dark matter" due to the high volume of time and energy required for its creation and maintenance, coupled with its invisibility to external observers as it is company-specific.
  • Economic Scale: Major software vendors (Oracle, NetSuite, Salesforce) support multi-billion dollar ecosystems of consultants and independent software vendors dedicated to this customization.
  • Technological Disruption: Large language models (LLMs) possess the capability to automatically generate and maintain the specific "glue" code required for uncommon, company-specific integration use cases.
  • Recruitment Signal: The speaker explicitly invites applications from individuals interested in working on solving this problem.
