it's actually kind of comical to think of all the IT departments out there forcing the entire company to beta-test a new webapp every five-years solely because they're either bored or afraid of not looking busy. I would rather they just spend 90% of their work-week playing WoW and only show up when there's a new problem but i can also understand the pressure to look busy and not let some overpaid exec like elon musk see how not-busy they are and come up with the bright idea that since the computers work 90% of the time without manual intervention that means you only need 10% of your staff.
I wish more companies would learn to maintain and polish what they have, but apparently that doesn't mesh economically somehow? I'd have thought it cheaper to maintain and incrementally improve, rather than redesign/revamp constantly.
I guess this is why I'm not cut out for management.
