I spent most of my early years in tech documenting workarounds to known issues in expensive software that did the job — just about. I could fix it myself, but not without voiding the contracts in place. For me that was just frustration. For the businesses I worked for, it was a series of invisible costs: the cost of workarounds, the cost of accepting the report you were licensed to run instead of the one you needed, the cost of the business shaping itself around the software, quietly, until that become “this is just how it works” — and nobody questioned whether there was a better way.
When I decided to go back to building software, I carried that experience with me. Not as a grudge, but as a compass. I knew what I didn’t want to build and how I didn’t want to work.
That turned out to be a useful starting point.
