When faced with building a simple web page, Team 1 spends a couple of days producing a single static html page and builds on it as necessary.
Team 2 spends 6 months showing upper management architecture diagrams and flashy mockups. They blow a million dollars on cloud hosting their load balanced web servers. They've got Kafka, ElasticSearch, triple redundant SQL servers, and a 12 person team to run it all. But when asked to present the actual page they announce that nobody on the team knows HTML and they just kind of assumed somebody else would do that part.
Non-technical managers cannot tell the difference between the two teams.
