Talking to a few friends in healthcare and struck by how much all of the progress from COVID is being unwound. No more telehealth. New software deployments back to taking years. People tasted efficiency and are going back to mediocrity.
Same is happening in tech with WFH.

I agree with you very strongly, but in the interests of educating on why this is happening - the senior leadership support of a more expensive and effective system is not there.
Covid response forced lots of upgrades and changes that were half-baked. Instead of investing in the new world and completing transformations or modernization projects, they’ve burned out all the people who put their evening and weekends into keeping the juggernaut rolling and now it’s falling back into low-effort/low-capability operating models that close off the risks and budget requests.
Don’t get me wrong: I fucking hate it, but this is how western democracies seem to be locking in their long term decline.
