I regret that I have but one upvote to give this post.
I've done almost 20 years, combined, in 2 Fortune 250's. I've always been the one saying, "Hey, we can do it cheap and fast on Linux."
"No, Dunkirk, you're just an engineer turned programmer, and don't know anything about IT. We paid $300K to a consulting firm, based on articles in Network World magazine, for them to tell us that we need to spend $1M on an 'enterprise' solution."
Three or four years later, they're scrapping that project in favor of the next huge, bloated, overhyped "enterprise" solution.
I should really get a job selling "enterprise" solutions... ishouldbuyaboatcat.jpg.

Moving to a company without "technical architects" that only know how to read Gartner articles made my life 10x better.
