The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My employer used (and probably still uses) SAAS. When I first saw it, it was very cumbersome. It might have been UNIX (don't remember now). Later, when I actually had to start using it (internal job transfer), the yield group had created a much friendlier Windows interface. Easier to load data, choose how you wanted it analyzed (e.g. p-plot), grouping data, etc.

So, in our case, adding that layer made it a lot easier. We had a small team of coders doing it (2 guys). When I retired they were still tweaking it, and releasing new features occasionally. But the underlying program was still SAAS.
