OMG, resistance to change is so crazy. I've fought for years to get teams to adopt a relatively simple pattern (complete with transition plans to minimize pain). After the change finally happens, everyone talks about how amazing and brilliant it is, and if I ever have big ideas like this "please share them."
So, I bring up data quality, and how we need a centralized test architecture! Same. Blank. Stares... and I'm another year in on shifting the needle, while random reports spontaneously stop breaking and we wait for customers to report data outages.
Blows my mind.
