"Enterprise software" has been defined as software that is purchased based on the decisions of people that will not use it. I think that explains a lot.

- mjw_byrne 2y agoYep, we had a constant tug of war between techies who wanted to use open-source tools that actually work (Linux, Postgres, Python, Go etc.) and bigwigs who wanted impressive-sounding things in Powerpoint decks and were trying to force "enterprise" platforms like Palantir and IBM BigInsights on us. Any time we were allowed to actually test one of the "enterprise" platforms, we'd break it in a few minutes. And I don't mean by being pathologically abusive, I mean stuff like "let's see if it can correctly handle a UTF-8 BOM...oh no, it can't".
