> I think it comes from the "Taco Bell" MBA types. They're the same people who think WordPress will put all web developers out of business.
And then on the other end of the spectrum are 'programmer types' who think WordPress is never a good solution because it's shitty for their particular use case.
Unfortunately most businesses these days rely on MBAs to make those decisions. Most MBA tracks don't even offer software development courses. They offer Accounting, Finance and Marketing, but not software development. That's funny because all of Accounting, Finance, Marketing and especially Operations run and rely on software systems, many designed and/or customized in house. It's a huge gaping hole in management knowledge in the US and it shows.
All the people I've heard use that analogy don't know what they're talking about when it comes to software development. I think it comes from the "Taco Bell" MBA types. They're the same people who think WordPress will put all web developers out of business.
It's frustrating to see the art of software development regress so much.
