We are working on a project at work to provide an IT environment for new contacts. Some of the team are claiming that our existing platform is unsuitable (despite it having capacity, being easily expandable, and still being under warranty) and came up with a platform costing millions, to support bids that might make 10's, or maybe 100's of thousands in profit. Not surprisingly the CEO told the project team to go away and come up with something sensible, and so they are now talking about proposing 1 server, 1 switch as a solution.
Why do some people have to throw out their toys because they can't get what they want? Why can't they accept that there must be a middle ground which satisfies the requirements of a project without so much that it is uneconomical?
Just a vent, but it really annoyed me today, because I will now need to put together a realistic solution, without their backing, so they will be pissed at me.

I like these guys, but some of them are luddites. Well paid luddites.

The problems really start when people who otherwise would not be like that are dragged down to that level because they know what others are like, it just goes on and on.
