Oh my God. I love this question. I worked for Ford 25 years ago (in manufacturing). Great company. But some managers argued with a straight face that we were NOT a technology company. Which can be translated to we don't need to follow best software development practices and can get a way with doing a half assed job. Now days, every large company is a technology company. If you need to manage 1000s of retail stores you are a technology company. If you manage 100,000s of SKUs you are a technology company. You cannot operate on a large scale without being really good at technology. It is an attitude. Ironically, I recently joined a large company where senior technical leaders are of this opinion. No wonder projects take years to be completed. Next time I will ask this on interview.
