Comment Re: Why were critical systems not replaced? (Score 1) 36

Iâ(TM)m aware of long-lived companies who got advised to: sell off then lease back their real estate, reduce cash on hand myriad ways, changing buying habits (so inventory value on the books plunges), etc. Literally, theyâ(TM)ve been coached to eliminate every bit of those decades of reserves.

When a bad thing happens, the company dies.

I can and do agree with you 100% on the rest, but this made me LoL. Enterprise code being documented is a unicorn.

Frankly, Iâ(TM)ve thought about seeing what caliber of docs come out of handing some AI a codebase. Even if itâ(TM)s half-wrong, itâ(TM)d beat the nuthinâ(TM) I usually get.

Sportsball (all flavors) are fast moving high churn cut throat businesses. Unions abound among them. Their owners still end up being billionaires.

Movies bla bla bla cut throat, yet SAG and Directors and gaffers and grips and key and etc often are guilded or unionized. Right now, I hear a lot about how the system has shifted until careers are challenging... but they'd be worse without their unions and the unions are their only hope in renormalizing to a living-wage thing.

Your point is invalid.
