The tools are often cringe because the capex was laughable.
E.g. one solution, the trial was done using public LLMs and then they switched over to an internally built LLM which is terrible.
Or, secondly, the process is often cringe because the corporate aims are laughable.
I've had an argument with a manager making a multi-million dollar investment in a zero coding solution that we ended up throwing in the bin years later.
They argued that they are going with this bad product because "they don't want to have to manage a team of developers".
They responded "this product costs millions of dollars, how dare you?"
How dare me indeed...
They promptly left the company but it took 5 years before it was finally canned, and plenty of people wasted 5 years of their career on a dead-end product.
