    I find it humorous that y’all think it’s only the company you worked at that had a fragile tech solution held together (sometimes literally) with duct tape and coat hangers, as part of a mission critical business process.

    Pretty much every company big or tiny has at least one permanent “temporary” solution in place.

      At my company, we have a saying: “That which is temporary shall outlive us all.”

      Pretty much every company 90% of the tech infastructure I’ve worked for is held together with 10 year old sun dried rubber bands.

      Right, Guys the financial industry is held up with ducktape and the hope that people will remember how to code like its 1975.

        The financial backbone of the world is written in fucking RPG

        You basically have to put up flyers in retirement homes to find experienced RPG devs. I’m barely joking.
