Currently working at a small manufacturing business that is drowning in the “we’ve always done it this way…” mentality and I just hope I can get out of here before it bites them in the ass.

Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster? Surely companies can’t limp along indefinitely… right?

    Indefinitely? No. For 30 years? Yes. So shut up and just duplicate the files on those diskettes if you really need them to be readable.
