CEO of enterprise-software powerhouse IgniteTech.

Can someone tell me what they do? They don't have a Wikipedia Article and their website is mostly AI slop.

    They throw buzzwords at venture capitalists in hopes of one day selling out.

    After grilling their silly LLM for a while, I was able to squeeze out what that company really is all about. They don’t really make anything. They just buy miscellaneous software companies, and turn those apps into subscription based cloud cancer. Enterprise software meets maximum enshittification, yeah baby!

    Ah, so removing employees from this dumpster fire was a net positive for society.
