    The IT GM to whom we reported thirty years ago used the term Information Asset Management to encompass all of these things.  This is my first encounter with the term "FinOps". Having a clear understanding of the business objectives and their metrics is necessary to be able to manage the technical resources appropriately.

    Too funny that people have given something like this a name.  The problem has been brought to us by all the people the preach things like DONE > Perfection but they don't actually know what DONE means and doesn't mean nor do they realize that "Good enough... usually isn't" and that "If you want it real bad, that's frequently the way you'll get it.

    I'll summarize by saying that DONE <> Shipped.  In fact, Shipped is frequently a guarantee of rework that will take 2 to 8 times longer than it would have if that little bit of extra effort was done during initial development to make sure it was actually Done/Shippable.

    Instead of FinOps, they should call it what it really is... FixOPS, the polite interpretation being "Fix Other Peoples... ummmm... Stuff".

    Prevent FinOps and FixOps... subscribe to "Make it work, make it fast, make it pretty... and it ain't done 'til it's pretty".

    And, no... Knuth's parable doesn't mean that you can use worst practices to start with and never go back to fix your junk.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
