> There's no solving this problem because it is fundamentally human in nature. The egos are invested in the existing thing -- so improving the proof-of-concept-that-is-now-hastily-shoved-into-production problem requires that you unravel every person's thoughts and pride on the current thing, regardless of the seriousness of the problem. And so the problem cannot get solved and change cannot happen unless something catastrophic occurs.

Maybe. It can be as simple as loss aversion.
