This is usually synonymous with “devops” transformations as part of huge personnel problems (read: no young people want to join / stay) in most large, old companies that are facing a form of a late-life crisis that was plainly visible decades ago to anyone but the willfully blind.
The standard situation of the usual F500 and government technology stack is a Petri dish of half-finished projects by an army of consultants maybe a couple years out of school charged at $300 / hr to the customer and everything is solved by throwing bodies at problems when a square peg was sold for a non-Euclidean hole because the decision-makers are so directly inexperienced in how technology works that 25-year old tech sounds like it’s cutting edge on a marketecture deck (or presume that something written recently couldn’t possibly be archaic already). It’s a lot like failed relationships with dozens of illegitimate children that you’re paying child support on.
