I have 30 years of experience in IT as a user and developer and often integrating with external systems—sometimes with big corporations. The pattern that I see is that all companies, big and small are mostly cooking with water. Often lukewarm water. This is especially true if the interfacing is in areas that are not the core product/​business of the company. Things look shiny on the outside. But under the hood a lot of compromises are made. Tech in financial processes are often far behind. I can evaluate this only in tech but Gell-Mann Amnesia tells me that it is probably the same elsewhere. Inadequate Equilibra everywhere. Society has just grown big very fast. It is just growing pains. On th other hand, Paul Graham would probably say it is a great potential for startups.
