I think the problem is, to businesses it is very much comparable. Businesses only ever (and don’t listen to anything they say, that’s all a lie) think about short term revenue gains. If they actually ever planned ahead you’d not have the month end, quarter end and year end revenue panics that seemingly every medium to large organization has.
So, being able to make decent looking software fast, is actually way more useful to them than it being “good” long term.
My only hope at this point, is people doing software engineering for as many years as I have can now create “Artisan software” as an art piece or something and get rich from it. :P
Corporate: Spends millions working frantically to whip together a software project over two years.
Also Corporate: Kills the project and lays off the entire team two days after release when customers don’t magically flock to the new platform overnight.
The longer I do this, the more I’m convinced the “M” in MBA actually stands for “Moron”.
