On top of that, the consultancy model dominates: endless "transformative" projects, pitched with buzzwords, costing upwards of $300,000 per month for an "agile squad" — usually 5–6 junior or mid-level developers rebranded as "senior." Value delivery is irrelevant because another part of the enterprise machine is dedicated to "protecting" budgets, ensuring they don't shrink year over year, and inflating headcount so managers can parade the size of their teams.
This creates the elephant-in-the-room effect: organizations that are slow, rigid, and performative rather than adaptive. In more than one company I've worked at, it was rare to find someone on a technology team who could even write a simple SQL query. But they were experts in "agility," microservices, and "scalability" — all while serving theie super systems/projetcs with a super number of 8 daily users and a mess of integrations with SAP, Salesforce, or whatever the enterprise flavor of the month happened to be.
With that I can say, it's frustrating, it's messy,full of political interactions, but it pays the bills, but it's still shit, maybe you decorate it a little here or there, but in the end it's just decorated shit.
It's because working out is againts the human race, we will "crafted" in a time that se haven't nothing, in a misery age back then and we were built to livre, which means that tour body will work to keep you alive. You will never see a Lion for example running to loose his belly fat, animals just spend energy for 3 things: food, sex and running from a predator, basicaly.
So, to achieve this habit, you have to have a "military" willing, because your nature will always fight against you.
For example, I still using ExtJS 3.1.1 in some projects, even the 4.x version is available for a long time, so, i totally agree with you.
