> I’ve always described it as “the design team justifying their own existence after the job is done.” I actually think that's really what is going on. Wish I had first hand evidence though. I do know of a tangential phenomenon at a friend's work place. Her org has a dedicated build tools team. So every 6 months every project's build infrastructure needs to change to something entirely new, because the build tools team keeps having to justify its existence. I don't know why a company would let this sort of thing happen. It's a massive waste of time for every team.
