That's not a good view out the window

I feel like if we stuck with the same working tech, in many cases, at least things would be safe.  But companies want to build excitement by building something new, which, if not managed properly, means throwing out everything that's been learned through years of experience and jumping into some half baked idea that somebody read in a conference paper.

See? I'm so out of touch i can't even hypothetically mess up a company to new world standards. My optimism bled through!

I operate at the R&D level for a lot of products and see the most appalling approaches to development. Always figured it was confined to the startup and VC crowd, that maybe it was different in established orgs.
