> I've not seen it this bad in 35+ years

Worrying times indeed, not much to say to that 😭

> I'm not in tech but I imagine you've been facing this in all areas for years no?

Not really. There was generally no need to be this early an adopter because there was no FOMO. The pressure is insane right now and we're all using poorly engineered technology that needs massive development on the consuming side to get working. We see people losing their jobs because they are automated away by LLMs that are at best an experimental, wonky integration. I've not seen it this bad in 35+ years

> The go live date kept being delayed which I assume is standard

I have done a couple of mega projects and it's always a battle between realistic timelines and attractive timelines, but a delivery delay due to quality assurance is a good delay. I'm more worried about the lack of quality assurance: no delays, poor quality.

Amazing answer as usual optimistic thank you

I don't want to spend months to work out something that I know is good, to then just throw it out because it is obsolete by the time it's done

I'm not in tech but I imagine you've been facing this in all areas for years no?

At my fiat mines they bought a super-duper management system that took about three years to implement

The go live date kept being delayed which I assume is standard and they eventually went live with defects, only for the system to be utterly out of date with the current market offerings
