Yes totally that.
I have been told many times in the last 20 years that the only thing that gets used comes from Microsoft. Literally the same shops end up with several piles of unmaintained crap which is either "not invented here" stuff, abandoned microsoft frameworks and all the staff have left to go find another job because it's not shiny any more.
Also a bad outcome.
- mpiedrav 7y agoBehind the enterprise tooling propaganda, there is the real programming endeavor with whatever tools are appropriate for the tasks (given the constraints of time, team size, developer expertise, maturity of libraries, etc.) A software development business is not really about programming languages, libraries, or tools, but about the game of power in the organization (even when the end user doesn't care how the product was developed). Anything that threatens that power is easily dismissed.

- masukomi 7y ago> Choosing the right job for the tool, would mean that all the wrong jobs should be outsourced. outsourcing that is just "kicking the can down the road" some poor developer is still left dealing with the same problem. It doesn't change anything other than who has to do the thing you don't want to / don't think is right.
