> What happens then is engineers scramble, gather their thoughts, present their ideas to the pointy-haired-boss and inquire about the context, the Why, the desired end state, the planning, etc. Given that "programming" is slow, extraordinarily costly and error-prone we have to carefully manage this. We create processes, systems of accountability and governance

That is when you go and create a whole politically motivated circus. Instead such ideas could have been coded and deployed in a single day. The actual discussion are not really about the tech, they are mostly about business needs and constraints.

The technologies are technically equivalent, but there are different tradeoffs between them. Most of engineering is finding the best set to help the business.

But it seems that a lot of people can’t bother refining their ideas conceptually. Or trying to solve the essential needs of their users. It’s like some kind of ADHD where they want “something” now, whatever the thing is.
