Why don’t devs and management try to consciously trim that list?
- PeterisP 5y agoFor more than one enterprise I've seen, your mergers and acquisitions are bringing in new technologies (and incompatible systems that need integration) faster than you can trim the list.
- mamcx 5y agoI WANNA. You bet on it. But I need to install that stuff so I can run the integration, do the tests, see how they work, add a little code of it, etc. For example, I need to install https://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=dbisam https://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=dbisam because just ONE of my customer use it. Then I need to add ODBC to OSX. Then I need to install FreePascal, and make some DLL on it so I can decode just ONE field that whole depend on the binary representation that exist there. More fun? That field is where is store the "price" of the product. Why the heck that developers decide to dump unportable binary, from a certain version of FPC, on that field, hell I know...
- Scarblac 5y agoBecause the precise costs and benefits of each technology are invisible to them.
