At my last job, a lady who was on the board as the marketing manager who seemingly did nothing but pay outside firms to redesign the website every once in a while suggested in a meeting that we explore the blockchain in the midst of attempting to redesign our databases to actually be compatible.
Given that she had spent about the previous 6 months actively sabotaging projects my and other teams were working on, as well as giving me insane nonsense projects to work on, I sighed and said oh god no.
So anyway I don't work there any more rofl.
But yeah can you imagine a SQL database... including PII and other sensitive health information... on a blockchain, for some fucking reason?
Higher ups love industry buzzwords. I've been in the business for over 20 years now and have learned to just keep my head down and say stuff like "I'll look into that more to see if it's viable." And then just leave it at that.
This is why I'll never progress far in my career.
