I don't entirely disagree with you but I've experienced differently. In software, for example, I have seen precisely the opposite: there's been a lack of long term decision making. Instead of saving developer time overall there's a push to write it even if it is bad. Then it goes into production immediately and it becomes very difficult to get it fixed correctly
- maerF0x0 4y agoWe agree with eachother. My point was the lack of longterm thinking. Not that projects have to be delayed but much but 10% today can have a compounding ROI for 2-5yrs (or however long that system lives) . I noticed this on gitprime btw. My code churn rate was waaaay below my peers. So basically if I merged a line of code to main, it tended to not need updating for years.

- maerF0x0 4y agoBut that makes no sense because the ROI on any feature is easily >12 months. You can't pay an engineer $20K for a month to build something and hope to make that $20K back that same quarter. The ROI on software development is easily 12 months, often years. So the investor is already betting on a future that exists 12 months from now, why not make it the best 12 month outcome?
