Mitigating and coming up with a plan to remedy these issues was my specialty over the 15ish years I wrote software professionally. All these initiatives and plan always does when it reaches an executive reacting with « it works now why should we spend any money on not making new features? We’re not doing your gold plating we don’t need it » I eventually got tired of this, ran out of motivation, and quit software engineering. MBAs who understand nothing about software treat software developers as code monkeys and then we are in this situation. I’m still bitter about the whole thing and how it completely put me off writing software (which I used to love doing). Some days, I’m cheering for these failures and crashes imagining some exec somewhere will eat a big shit sandwich for causing it. But I’m not kidding myself, I know it’s the software engineers getting blamed and working over time for these outages…
