When the requirements were for solid return, rather than constant growth, and the owners at least appeared to care about customers.
We live in a society that gets stuck every few Tuesdays because of a vibe coding aesthetic that allows big companies to rush updates and not test for the wide swath they take up in the landscape.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid we don't live in the society that can hear a good solution to an existential problem and think, "yes, let's spend more and work slower so that someone else can do this when we retire." Instead, the idea will, at best, be given quiet lip-service and ignored during the next 5 quarters of layoffs by which time the books will look good enough to hand the whole thing over to someone else.
