In a corporate environment, often the best way to get things done is to circumvent the official software and just write something that works. When we do it, we call it an elegant hack, but when guys in suits who went clubbing last night do it, we call it a terrible, amateur travesty that should be replaced by PROPER code as soon as possible....Meanwhile, a talented new guy comes on the team and notices what a bloated piece of crap this software is. He wonders why no one has written a little Excel sheet to get around it and REALLY get some work done...
