Not sure if you mean why in the movie or why they couldn’t in real-life
in the movie, they bring up the mission requirements at low altitude render a certain tech of the new gen planes useless under the scenario because of its dependence on radar iirc
in real life the decision behind avoiding 5th is because most of the information about the planes are still highly classified, ie there is no full feature spec of 5th gen planes available, so no way united states military would let them film a plane
Venmo isn't instant. Send yourself more than 15k. If that goes through, try to send it back.
Sure, the row in the database is instant though.
I agree it is a feature for a bank to be able to undo mistakes. The problem happens when a bank commits the mistakes and refuses to acknowledge it.
This is akin to all of us submitting to google and gmail, its great unless our account gets flagged by an algorithm by mistake. No mistake, i would be screwed.
Further, both will be totally instant vis-a-vis your actual bank account in a few years as RTP rolls out. No crypto needed. [1] I'm led to believe the delays in implementation were ensuring small community banks had a risk model.

In those organizations, I highly doubt microservices or monolithic decisions would have made a difference.
Disorganized management won't magically get fixed if the root problems of ASAP, priority, techinal debt, etc features aren't fixed.
The fact that the organization was trying to combine two large monolithic codebase into one is an obvious smell that technical decisions are made by someone non-technical.
Well yes, acquisitions are frequently decided by nontechnical people. That’s where the money comes from.
For better or worse, nontechnical people sometimes make decisions. One of the jobs of a software architecture is to be robust in accommodating the consequences of them. Monolithic architectures frequently aren’t.
This is the most likely answer. There would have been a few other warning signs durung the due diligence but most VCs who have rejected me have used some incredibly lame excuse instead of being honest.
It wouldn't hurt them to simply say "we don't understand this and that makes us uncomfortable" instead of bullshit like "doesn't fit our investment profile" or the tech stack is wrong.
Trying to educate VCs in something out of their comfort zone is like trying to teach a pig to tapdance. Most of them I have had dealings with have such limited life experience they will never really understand agtech or biotech.
