It's no IT.... it's what everyone knows and what developers make their software for. Most enterprise software is windows designed, it's an ecosystem that's very hard to break away from.

This hits the nail perfectly, as well as users just only knowing Windows because it's the first type of device you learn most likely through the schooling system.

  • IT I do run Linux myself and plan on deploying more Microservices through it.

Most enterprise software is more complex and heavy than it needs to be.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most enterprise software has to meet constantly shifting goals requirements certifications and regulations.

In most cases it's complicated because it has to be and because it's been driven to be complicated over time to meet the complex needs of the business.

The software will represent the business, if the business is too complicated then the software will be too complicated. It's impossible to separate the software complication from the business in that sense.
