Didn't read the article, but totally agree with the title. Having seen the level of complexity the business-side people (analysts, managers, product owners) have to deal with on a daily basis, I'll gladly work on our ridiculously overengineered k8s-based web app. It still seemed rather sane compared to the business side of bank.
- Guest42 5y agoI think for me that sometimes the large companies get over-siloed and that the small companies get over-scattered and under-funded. My best experiences have been at fairly large companies that are able to combine the better aspects of both and have enough flexibility within a defined set of processes, and the budget to support what’s going on.
- lbriner 5y agoI wonder whether there is a curve of profitability that peaks in the middle and then goes down in both directions. We all know that most startups struggle to make a profit because they might not command premium rates and are growing. On the other hand, I can't imagine the crazy overheads of large corporates who can only make so much money because their prices are high. I once heard (a long time ago) about a company who had paid $15K for a custom carpet that was used for one trade show over a week and then thrown away.
