If I had only had this advice at the beginning of my PhD, I would have saved myself a lot of hassle....
Also, the above advice would suggest, for instance, that we should use SAP’s ridiculous, bloated crapware to manage human resources etc… Sometimes the multibillioner dollar companies fail.
Well, “learn from it” and “use the crapware” can mean different things. I’ve found useful the rule of thumb that “someone else once had your problem and you should find out what they did, even if they failed to solve it”.
