> Companies never think of the old guys as the ones to implement the new system - that's a job for the "enterprise experts" So true, even for more recent stuff. It's so absurd I always wanted to make a web comic about this. Companies keep ignoring advice of their own developers, and then eventually hire some "technology expert" who is going to implement the same tech their existing staff recommend years ago. Except, of course, the expert has no idea about business processes and user needs, so you end up with a long and expensive train-wreck that results in something barely better than what you had before.
