Good, I will with great pleasure now reiterate my point about people now producing their own code, even complex stuff, rather than downloading potentially malicious and foreign code. Which as a tendency threatens ALL clumsy big ERP service providers selling you SAAS.

Go ahead - I'm ready to be down-voted again and again until folks realize it is inevitable, as is inevitable that many companies in the area of business software are going down down down.

I think ERP providers should continue to exist. It's hard to vibe code financial/accounting specs and there's the IBM factor. There are a bunch of weird ways you can get things wrong.

An ERP has an established workflow that follows GAAP principles.

Hundreds of thousands of customers have cut their teeth on that workflow and improvements are metered out.

The last thing you want is to have to do PCI compliance or 1099 reporting, tax calculations for every jurisdiction. IFRS, Inventory valuation methods, SOX controls, revenue recognition rules, etc.

Not to mention if you get audited saying "Oh yeah we vibe-reconcilled all those statements".

Anything that touches the ERP? sure.

If you re-design ERPs for total AI? Maybe actual ledgers (no - not tables in MSSQL), imdepotency, rollbacks, maybe. still a bad idea.

Don't roll your own crypto. Don't roll your own ERP. Roll everything else around it.
