There are many good reasons why inferior software from a vendor is chosen over superior in-house alternatives. Clueless managers aren’t always the reason. More likely, its because no matter how clever the solution, no matter how bright the programmers, in-house, bespoke software, SHOULD BE AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE (unless you are a tech company and it is your competitive advantage).

but then that doesn’t make for as entertaining an anecdote as steak and strippers…
