He might have or not but I have. Not as complex but similar mission critical and distributed. 90 days is nothing as outlined.

Once you go life or death situations, regulatory environment applies, backward compatability matters, ... Everything takes endless. It is not code, commit, test and deploy. Intake, Risk Analysis, project planning, approvals, alignments, etc. So many more processes. We should not fool ourselves that other platforms are better in that once you go for serious SLAs. Linux Kernel or user land patch might be fast, but RedHat delivery will take longer.

Welcome to Enterprise development.

Very very little of enterprise is life or death, and windows is not suitable for life or death.

When enterprise just falls on its face, I don't have much sympathy. "So many more processes" sounds like taking a handful of steps, splitting them up, and making each one require multiple days of memos back and forth. Can you provide any justification for this? Am I misreading?

That is assuming whoever you are replying to is foreign to enterprises.

In that case - if you are not - congrats! Seems like you ended up in well organized places :)
