+10 I have had similar experiences over many years and whilst the products, tools and names may change, whether it’s a large or small organisation, the outcomes are often predictably similar and bad. I find a general lack of experience, interest and understanding of consequences and the associated risks pervades. Unfortunately there is rarely any enthusiasm, interest or even resources to allow for sensible discussions to help gain insight into the problems and challenges. Resilience can come with an understanding of the short and long-term consequences of every decision. Of note, I find that reinventing, rewriting or scratching-the-itch to make the perfect CMS, ORM, etc, offers no value to understanding consequence and resilience.
