It was indeed a joke. Appian is a “low/no-code” platform (that surprisingly requires quite a bit of code) used to build shitty customer service workflows. It is tailored for non-technical people and sold as a cost effective solution to clueless executives. It is the kind of software solution that body shops like infosys, accenture, etc love because they can load up lots of low skill people on the project (but charge the client as if they were higher skilled). The result of this arrangement is mediocre at best. Additional changes or scope creep drags out these kinds of projects. Because the system was built with low-skill there aren’t the same considerations given for readability, extensibility and all of the other good software development practices that enable future velocity. Again, another win for the body shops as they can’t deliver the changes the client wants fast enough. So now there is this parasitic body shop attached at your company’s hip after Appian is deeply ingrained into your business processes. It is exactly the kind of penny-wise, pound foolish thinking (“I can hire lots of non-engineers for one engineers salary!”) that ends up costing way more in the long run.
TL;DR: Appian is a wage suppression grift.
Unrelated tangent on the Appian software: It is exactly your solution if you have a five person job, but need to employ 30
This is not in support at all. In fact, it further supports moonlight’s and others’ position. You cannot escape physics. That the numbers on the back of cereal box lie to you is not a get-out-responsibility card. You adjust your intake until you start losing. It is stupid simple. You body is a PID controller. And you need you learn how to operate it.
Does it make it more difficult to accomplish goal? Yep. Does it prevent you from actually doing it? Nah.
Former fatty. It was 100% behavioral. CICO. Physics. Some people need help, no denying that. But rigorously limiting and counting my intake, and estimating my output from added activity with fitness trackers, while also altering my diet to include more volume, less caloric density to stop feeling so hungry, 100% worked. And I learned to be hungry and that the world wasn’t going to end if I was hungry for a little while until it was meal time. I had plenty of caloric surplus and my body was being a little bitch.
Anyhow, anecdata of one that supports the control what goes in your facehole camp.
Man, I love click savers. Thanks, bro. 🍻
