I used to be impressed with these corporate techblogs and their internal proprietary systems, but not so much anymore. Because code is a liability.

I would rather use off-the-shelf open source stuff with long history of maintenance and improvement, rather than reinvent the cron/celery/airflow/whatever, because code is a liability. Somebody needs to maintain it, fix bugs, add new features. Unless I get +1 grade promotion and salary/rsu bump, ofc.

People need to realize that code is a liability, anything that is not the business critical stuff that earns/makes $$$ for the company is a distraction and resource sink.
