“conservatively $435,000,000 per year”

But how much would it cost to have a few senior engineers fix it, and ensure zero mistakes or missing functionality while doing it?

Even if I were CTO of Kroger… nope. I’m not doing it. I’m not spending months of engineer effort to save $435K, unless there’s proof of greater savings.

EDIT: Yes, I terribly misread that this is million, not thousand, which makes a lot more sense even though I do not believe, even for a second, this actually costs Kroger $435M a year.
