we're not too inefficient in my line of work. but we don't have huge margins. but i am hanging out to hear some desperate tales about how half your lives exist only because of the obscene inefficiencies inherent in IT because there isn't anything even remotely like a standards board

Suspicious posted:i'm the flavor of the month javascript framework that reinvents the wheel for the n'th time, poorly i worked with a guy who had a job to refactor a php site. it was a poo poo job, but whatever, just make it happen. no, he claimed, it all must be rebuilt with ruby on rails! then he decided sql was no good, time to switch to mongodb, because nosql is the future. a few weeks later RoR was out the door because Nodejs was hot hot hot and soooo much better. a constant cycle of starting from scratch again and again. he was amazing to watch then he got into angular, ember, backbone, those types of things etc. when i left he was like 3 months into the drat thing with about half a home page to show for it. by then he was on to Go or Dart or something else equally as stupid

Lots of printouts of things from our lovely ERP software, with less detail than the ERP software, used by people with access to everything in the ERP software, stored in many banker's boxes. Can't trust computers you know. Basement got a little water in it and a bunch of boxes were on the floor. Rusty staples and weird stains

coworker was at a project at his old company where they spent ~100000000 USD implementing SAP for a small regional office in the middle of nowhere. the plan was global rollout but the entire implementation had to be scrapped and started again from scratch because parts of it were of such low quality.

i worked on a project once where the customer would fax us something, we would OCR the fax, search-and-replace a few of the words, then try to reformat the fax into a word document template, print it as a PDF and re-fax it back to them for their approval before they would turn around and fax it to a third party. about halfway through, we realized we could just hire an intern with a dymo label maker to do it by hand and put it back into the fax machine like a 1990s 'zine but my boss didn't go for it (he wanted to license the technology to a big company like microsoft or oracle as a replacement for all this faxing that businesses did circa 2008). near the end they wanted us to identify the client's font and reproduce it, which we ended up doing by OCRing the caller id off the cover page and referencing that into a lookup table of which font each client liked. everything we were faxed was a print-off of a word document fresh from the laser and often faxed direct from the print driver.

It's 2017 and almost every single tool in the CAD software we use at work is not multi-threaded, because it's code base probably makes Excel's look like a paragon of forward planning and logical design. We get new beastly CAD workstations every few months and they all just sit there at 12.5% processor utilisation all day. Bonus: It also doesn't support desktop composition, so even though the processor is basically idle you still have to wait for the current task to end before some programs (looking at you Adobe Reader) will jump in and open.
