Had Nike as a client for a period of time, interacted with quite a few people across their data org. There is absolutely no software you want authored by them.


I worked at a large Healthtech company before. I get the sentiment. But, in the forest of software based on poor decisions, there were definitely a couple of valuable gems made by very knowledgeable people. Generally those were the people with an "opensource mindset" (as opposed to the "my ultra-crappy code that is just some FOSS glued together is super valuable IP and you need to read 100s of QMS docs before you can lay your eyes on it"-people). Don't measure the whole org by the same yardstick.


This is just flat out rude.


It's a big organization, but I can understand the feeling, because I had the same attitude towards Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce and many others.


It’s a big organization, which means there will be areas full of great people and areas full of less-than great people. To discount all work from a group that large is just silly.
