It's because somewhere in the 90s, the trend was started to pay JD Edwards or SAP a couple million and then you "had to do what the system told you". No, you do not put your pallet in bay "A1" because the algo says you put it in bay "D7". These things were possible because the rocket scientists working on the algo were centralized and you bought their software and you won more by doing what they thought best. You couldn't build this on your own cost-effectively.
Now you can.
ERP was such a rip off, a total fucking racket/boondoggle
edit:
I always knew it but I could not prove it!
I've worked with and without it. The upside of being a stubborn mf and sticking with best-of-breed has been that you didn't need to hire a team of PWC dudes to get something customized. The downside was that you'd still be vendor locked.
That's changed now but I fear it will take a while for businesses to wake up to this new shiny future of burned out solo devs, a $20k Anthropic bill and half finished software. lol
20k is trivial
I think it's more like 200k
edit: PWC = Price Waterhouse Cunts?
If you spend more than 20k on a software implementation before it can be shipped, you have been doing it wrong regardless, I think.
Many years ago one of my team leads said: "if we cannot do it in 3 sprints, we cannot do it". Which roughly translates to "1 week" of API expenditure now; not including refinement.
PWC = Price Waterhouse Cunts?
Yeah or fill in your own. It's a placeholder.
My friend was complaining about the increase in the use of “bespoke”
