>I just don’t see this in the real world these days

Lol. Go to literally any bank. They all have a legion of accountant,analyists that's sole job is to maintain their little fiefdom of spreadsheets that only they understand.

If most people knew just how held together by string,tape and gum the banking industry is there would be a run on the banks.

There is also always some 75+yo part time guy that maintains some sort of critical system. He always says, "I want to retire but they keep throwing more money at me"
