The vendor closer: this platform future-proofs you. The correction: there's no future-proof tool — there's only loose coupling. Bet on open standards, clean data contracts, and exit-ability, not on any single vendor's roadmap.
— A thread on designing for replaceability over betting on permanence.
— A piece on composability as the actual hedge against change.
— A checklist for data portability: can you export, with what fidelity, how fast?
— A teardown of a "future-proof" platform that was acquired and sunset in 18 months.
Skip if every tool already has a clean exit. Essential if a contract assumes the vendor will exist unchanged in five years.
That's the stack for this week. Forward to a teammate.
