And as a former developer I’ll share a programming-related horror story about business incompetence.
A business unit spent $millions of the company’s money having contractors build a highly performing document generation system to meet a pre-set deadline to sell the documents. Literally within 2 weeks after completing the final user acceptance testing cycle involving nearly 50 people and validating that the entire system was operational in the production environment…
“never mind.”
They decided to drop it and let a different unit in the same company produce a similar document using a more dated system.
Programming incompetence?
A job not worth doing well is not worth doing at all - indeed!
