People protecting their jobs. If you’re the only person who understands some old app that runs some critical system, you essentially have ‘tenure’.

That’s a part of it but it’s more about being in the middle of the ocean and trying to build a new boat.
Every large Org skimps on dev/test/non-prod infrastructure and licensing and have too much tech debt to change. Easier to pay someone to be part of the furniture than rearchitect environments and processes, and no-one ever wants to own the risk for big stuff like this or ask for the budget; Execs protecting their jobs by keeping on the old hats who are protecting theirs.
again, the inability to adapt and evolve hinders progress
I wish humans weren't lazy, but evolutionary speaking, laziness is good
Adapt to what though?
They can toss a front end on this crap like lipstick on a pig. Mobile, web? What big movement?
That’s why they got their panties in a bunch over “blockchain”. This will solve everything 😂😂😂
And BTC is sitting there saying “not so fast partner”. BTC ain’t blockchain or crypto and does solve everything, including obsoleting you.
