Centralized purchasing found efficiencies by standardizing roles and position specifications and granting preferred partner status to contract labor firms. In theory, standardized buying lifted the burden of negotiation from individual department managers and found cost efficiencies for the company.

What I'm concerned about, as a developer, is the collateral damage such ham-fisted regulation might cause. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Admittedly, it's a developer focussed argument, but there are more technical arguments against the move. I've read the report.

An example of a specification is the correct operation of the hardware of a microprocessor.

Yet, this criticism of React isn’t completely unwarranted: React and ReactDOM total about 120 KiB of minified JavaScript, which definitely contributes to slow startup time. When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware.

So we really can’t talk about automating any significant task without seeing it as a non-trivial data integration project: matching IDs, reconciling slightly different definitions of database columns, de-duping, named entity recognition , all of that fun stuff. But the gain in efficiency would be relatively small.
