> changing reality to conform with artificial software limits
This happens more often than people realize. I worked with someone who developed one of the first softwares to manage interims workers in Belgium.
He acknowledged once that interim contracts were renewed every week because his software could only produce weekly contracts and pay slips, although the legislation allowed for 6 months or so.
I still remember times when interim workers were carrying ever growing stacks of paper and managers signing them off every week.
