There’s a quote attributed to adam smith “there’s a lot of ruin in a nation”. A large enterprise such as Google, GE, or IBM can be poorly managed for decades before being economically forced to change. I observed a team making 25 MM per engineer in a large company that made one change per year. There are products at google that require 400+ pages of documentation/proof to change.
