Everyone says ripping out Salesforce is terrifying. Downtime, data loss, and internal chaos keep most companies locked into their SaaS stack for years. But something is changing. In this episode, Gabe explains why switching systems is no longer the career-ending move it once was. AI is lowering the cost of building and maintaining internal tools, which means companies are starting to question whether they should keep renting their operating systems from SaaS vendors. After removing Salesforce and building a CRM in Lovable, Gabe shares why the real shift isn’t just about build vs buy. It’s about who controls the system, the data, and the workflows as AI agents start doing more of the work.
