I've worked for various companies over the years, and I've realized a few things.
The most important one is this: the crowd is not smarter than you.
Perfect example of this kind of logic: we don't like situation X because of the way we did this.
Let's go build another one with the same problem as X.
I wish I could be more specific, but it's an ah-ha moment when it happens. It's the smartest people in the room complaining for 20 straight minutes about a design they created, then refusing to fix it in the next new design.
People: this happens everywhere. The Abilene Paradox is still alive and well.
