This is GREAT summary!

I work in a large organization, in an industry that is naturally slow. The work (in the industry) is slow because it's critical to deliver stable and reliable solution because large part of population and economy rely on this industry SW/HW. I have heard a lot of complains on how the process is slow, but in many cases, building on top of existing work takes a long time. It takes long time to understand legacy work, to go through older studies and projects, and to find spots to add contributions. Not all of us work on green field projects, but many of us maintain code/work that doesn't look "cool".
