Eh it depends. I’ve worked at / with a lot of more traditional non-tech companies and you’d be amazed at how a lot of the software looks like Excel circa 1995.

I guess they could be using third party software but it seems like often they are just using an ancient thing they built themselves.
- bluGill 4mo agoThat tends not to be written by software people so we can ignore it even though you are correct.
- christoff12 4mo agoPeople who write software are software people lol. A lot of stuff is just old. Accountants and marketers didn't build the legacy tools teams are stuck with.
- saturn8601 4mo agoSounds like you are picturing WinForms in your mind (Was so awesome to create forms and ship really customized usable software quickly). Does business software really need to be super pretty?
- keiferski 4mo agoNo definitely doesn’t need to be pretty. My point is more that building and managing this stuff often requires a programmer. It’s not “cool” or cutting edge but it’s a job.
