Death by Technical Debt (piefed.social)

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Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster?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?

Holy.... Are you me? Haha

Solo IT, very outdated, uh, everything. Spent the last few years updating, upgrading, modernizing, etc. We've come a long way! I can conformably take a vacation without sweating out having my stuff at arm's length.

Message me if you want to share more, bc my list is far too long.
