I went on site in mmm 2018? to help them deploy some APM for the backend of their nav, maps and scheduling products. It was - like much of that kind of software- a mix of exceedingly awesome stuff with craptacularly integrated and poorly integrated systems, with ancient dependencies and strange feeds everywhere. In other words pretty normal stuff in corporate world, and the kind of systems that are hard to un-ransom...
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoTough to imagine Boeing being anything other than a basket of legacy crap with some super interesting innovations in spite of everything. It feels like another one of those systems that’s destined to languish, like a lot of other highly regulated industries these days. Like, I would never take a job at a medium to large size bank these days because now it’s really about how old version of Java I would have to deal with by doing so.

- apelapan 4y agoBoeing buys a lot of smaller technology companies/products and folds them into various subsidiaries (like Jeppesen). This brings a constant source of innovation to the enterprise, and means there are lots of interesting things going on in the broader enterprise. The Jeppesen brand consists of a whole bunch of cool legacy companies and semi-transplanted subsets of various sibling subsidiaries: SBS, Carmen, Tapestry, Enplore etc, etc. Loads of stuff in addition to the more publicly famous chart business.
