A different take is we have had a steady stream of "fresh takes" for the last 20+ years I've been here. Every fresh take has been the same. Instead of investing in the core infrastructure we would do a "quick fix". When I started it was we were asking too much of tech; figure it out yourself. That got us EUCs. Then instead of going to new platforms we would just do new interfaces and duct tape them to systems with APIs, that got us ancient systems that are constantly breaking, then big data would transform everything, but bad data in, bad data out. The new one is AI is going to save us all while pumping out fundamentally incorrect cr-p. We dont need new people. We need competent people that stick around long enough to face the consequences of constantly cutting corners for short term gains.
Bumping from @fx+1jsy738xr for being on point.
