The law of bad tech decisions

I was just contemplating my companies driving urge to make bad tech decisions wherever and whenever they possibly can. If there's a tech choice to be made they will make it. And I will have to build it. Spend 2 years building X. Sure but we'll start a new project to build Y, which makes X moot. Have a project that will track users, call it Thoth, because obviously he's the god of the hunt and anyone joining will know that. No don't call it UserTracking. Have a team full of rails devs? New project is in node. We have a guy who can do that. Yep this project has to handle a million + users per hour and the company falls if it falls. Oh and that one guy. He's new. Just wondering if there's a programming law that relates to this. Like Moors Law or Parkinson's law.
