My view on all this has become a very elitist one. > It wasn't that he was ignorant about what computers could do, but his entire mental model was built around files. Yes, this is very common. The problem is that the people without technical expertise are the ones creating the business processes. They need to hire more engineers to show them what needs changed. > And git! Don't get me started on git! The best minds of a generation stuck in a paradigm of downloading files to their local machine, making changes, then emailing git pushing them up to be approved? Madness! This is taking it too far. No, the engineers should be the ones who get to deal in files because they are cognizant of the limitations - so long as they can adhere to best practices. Where this falls apart is when you get people saying "you don't need branching, just use main." To prevent that, stronger gatekeeping is needed. Files for me, not for thee - unironically.
