Worked in a place where they were embarking on their third generation of failed incremental replacement of a system originally built in COBOL. No indication third time was the charm either. Big problem these projects is they ran for so long that whatever they were using stopped being the hot new thing half way through, so they always needed to restart with a new paradigm before the old one was fully implemented.
