I suspect many users are blindly following recipes found on the internet or using code written but someone who is no longer with the organisation. In economics this falls under the class of "free-rider" problems where people want public services but aren't willing to fund them. Maybe we need compulsory public service where youngsters are put to work in the conventional ways (military, hospitals, etc.) or software projects. During the Vietnam war I was in grad school in the US and shared an office with a couple veterans. One had worked on software development projects for the Air Force, who I assume were paying for grad school. -- George N. White III
