You're correct. But have you been on the other side: something you know is not perfect, but someone convinces you to try something, you agree, it isn't great but it gets used... then they leave and you are stuck with something that is a pain clean up.
replyI understand it can suck: but what is lacking isn't your technical demonstration (unless it is truly ground breaking), but your demonstration to clean up your own mess and be responsible.
I just told you I have run multiple projects through at a large defense contractor.
replyThe entire system there is old projects dropped by some new manager, retiree, or corpse. I work on systems that are older than I am and I was born in the 80s. There is no side in Ba Sing Sah.
Yes and it’s still always better to try new things then wait for approval or something to be perfect if you want the company to keep innovating.
replyA company at a certain point moves from “make it work” to “don’t break it”. Both have good reasons to be honest but “don’t break it” has far more restrictions.
replyPerhaps what separates the good companies from the Great companies is that the latter always tries to make it works, doesn't rest on it's laurels, and takes any bet which is +ev.
replyExactly, you need to be in the chosen group. The trusted group.
replyThe system grows to stifle itself.
replyThe system is not stifling the system. It is stifling innovation.
replyThis is frankly one of my worst fears.
