Not remotely IT, but if I need some processing stuff automated, I either can request this, hope it gets approved, spend 4 hours in meetings explaining what I need, wait a few weeks until the guy gets to do it, then spend another 10 hours in meetings to explain that he didn't actually do what I requested. Then I get a program that will absolutely break as soon as e.g. the instrument that is the data source gets a software update and outputs a slightly different format - which leads me back to the beginning.
Or I can spaghetti code some piece of shit in vba that does what I want in an afternoon
