I scream, you scream… You know the drill. Speaking of ice cream. A 2009 study discovered that ice parlor customers were more happy when they had fewer flavors to choose from. This seems counter-intuitive but the maximization paradox applies to the enterprise software world as well. Sometimes it feels like there might be too many SAP products or ABAP models or online courses. When all we want is just vanilla and chocolate.

Hey there, Jelena and Paul! As an AI enthusiast with a background in regulated and safety-critical technology, I must say your "Boring Enterprise Nerdletter" is anything but boring! Your insights on SAP+AI and Oracle's generative AI endeavors are spot-on. Looking forward to more delicious reads from Team Chocolate and Team Vanilla!
Thanks Adam! I write about AI so often that I’m thinking of spinning off a smaller newsletter from this one just to focus on that. I’ll be sure to subscribe to yours!

Great episode again, as usual :-) Hey, since you asked, ABAP is great but oh boy how do I miss a modern “namespace” concept! It makes me afraid importing abapGit projects which is sad because abapGit is arguably even greater than ABAP! This prefix workaround, so common in ABAP, is so ugly! They hurt my eyes!

Twenty look like a cool project but I don't really see what's to gain to "mash it up" with Odoo, as the CRM app already does all of that (including export all the things and "my opportunities" filter).

Plus check out the book I did a couple years ago, with some AI/ML stuff in it too: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/practical-data-science/9781492046431/
Thank you, Adam! Love your dinosaur illustrations! It's funny that we also have a term of endearment for some SAP ABAP developers: ABAPosaurus. :)

“ABAP is great, but…” has got to be one of the most commonly uttered phrases in the SAP nerd-o-sphere. 🤓
Technically, there is namespace concept but it's just not for us, mere mortals of Z Realm. :) And yeah, I hate prefixes too.

Sure, fair point. I meant the comment more like "take it and put it anywhere you like", not "Twenty plus Odoo is precisely the best possible mash-up".
