This blog post is about an observation I made pondering the slow adoption rates of several technologies in IT that I consider being game changers. My claim is:
Standardization is a two-edged sword. It has a value, but it also comes at a price.
This post is about another “evergreen” in IT: The fallacy that only business features have business value.
It is summer. Most people try to enjoy the weather (at least when there is weather to enjoy). They do not want to rack their minds pondering mind-bending ideas. Therefore, I decided to pick some imo relatively straightforward ideas from my blog topics backlog for the next few posts. I hope they will still contain some food for thought for you.
Probably you also heard it several times before. Someone comes along saying that IT is a young and immature domain. That we are not yet an engineering discipline. That the way we write code sucks: Slow, not enough throughput, error-prone, not easily repeatable.
