Compet

Best to just ignore that shit; it’s just female intrasexual competition at work. Yes, it’s mostly unconscious (she does feel genuinely affronted), but that’s that’s still what it is. There are many women who do wish to self-infantilize, though. No idea why. Easier than taking any form of responsibility or being held accountable, I guess.

I worked for a sub-unit of a German company that made exactly those kinds of products. And I kid you not, their unofficial motto was, “We do not innovate.”

And in this case it was exactly what our customers wanted. These were all extremely large (many Fortune 100) enterprise customers that prioritized the tried and true, the stable, and the predictable. They did not want anything that changed like the wind every month or two, as is the usual tech industry way. If a product had been out and tested for 10+ years, they might consider using that “new” tech. And then adopt it over the course of the next decade.

More of the tech world should be that way.
