    FTA: “collaboration software startup ClickUp […] which was last valued in 2021 at $4 billion, had laid off 22% of its workforce yet characterized that reduction as not a cost-cutting measure, but rather a radical embrace of AI that will propel the company to the next level”

    How can a company making collaboration software be worth billions in a world where fewer and fewer people have to cooperate, and where those who do have tools that can tweak their collaboration software to their workflow in minutes?

    I think they’ll have to know better than those companies how best to work and charge lots and lots of money per seat. Starts to sound more like a consulting company that way.
