Have you stopped and asked yourself and your organization, “Why are we doing this?”

You may or may not be surprised to find out that a lot of organizations make decisions, choose frameworks, and prioritize projects simply because of inertia and not because there's a real reason behind it. 

Why would you put time and resources into maintaining structures whose reasons have been lost to antiquity or never existed in the first place? It seems like common sense to individuals, but that often doesn't translate on the organizational level.

This episode delves into the importance of understanding the reasons behind technical decisions and the pitfalls of following practices or working on projects without understanding their original purpose or questioning their current relevance.
