> The documents describe data anarchy within the company, where people responsible for data systems are unaware of how other people in the company use their system. In some cases even the engineers using a system may not be able to understand what is happening because, according to a Meta engineer, ‘it is not possible for humans to understand’.

Honestly, I think a lot of big orgs with deep legacy tech and a bunch of shadow IT are in a similar position.

I work in an old school bank. Can confirm. You're lucky if people even know what the data they themselves use actually means. Usually there's all sorts of edge cases that make them go "ohh no, it can't do that, that would make it completely wrong", but it does do that and it is indeed wrong.
