> The industry is a perfect example of the rampant "consultant effect", where people create massively complicated stacks that often don't accomplish anything that their forebears couldn't manage, and then get paid bloated salaries for mastering the tools and workflows that are ostensibly meant to solve the very problems that they are responsible for foisting onto the world in the first place.
Organizations want to buy a solution to their problem instead of reorganizing themselves to develop the fundamentals required to not have the problem. It's like managing your back-pain with pain killers without actually doing any physical therapy or lifestyle changes to fix your body mechanics. It's a temporary solution that puts you on a ladder to needing ever more intensive interventions.
