Once when working in devops I asked my team lead why we didn't just move everything to Heroku, rather than reinventing a bad in-house version of their features.
I was firmly told not to suggest it again unless I wanted to put all of us out of a job.
That seemed ridiculous to me — we had a laundry list of ways we could help the business if we got basic platform stuff off of our plates. But I sure learned something about how incentives affect otherwise-good engineers.
