So I had this thought all of a sudden. (Without any drug in my system)

Why are we still developing same old systems, softwares and web applications till now?

Websites, games and creativity involved development are understandable because people have different taste.

But workflow and process are supposed to be precise, standardized and consistent. No?

Is it because businesses are operating in various ways? Then again why?

Shit. I should stop my thinking at this level. 😑

    The thought I have all the time. You are not alone.

    I think it is because "uneven" development environment at different places and different projects have different demands from the company as well as a developer or a team of devs.

    Development is a creative process, and attempts on standardising processes amount to turning that into assembly line work. That's why it only works to a limited extent.

    Actually processes evolve over time. New ways of doing stuff appear. And developers are then hired to create software that handles the new process.

    There are also different tastes, so there are people that might not like the existing, working software and want something new.

    As long as there are people willing to pay, there will be devs willing to remake existing software.
