<p>On forced password resets, the NIST guidelines are clear. But alas, this kind of news travel very VERY slowly it seems. Even the large organisations that "care deeply" about security seem to miss the memos. Gets my goat all the time.<p>Thanks for the real world stories on people who are actually, physically challenged.</p>

<p>Whenever I have to call an IVR system for support it puts me in a blood rage 98 out of 100 times. This space is the ultimate dark pattern mine field.<p>My common interactions were with banks and telco companies. Absolute trash.<p>I'm pretty sure some systems allowed remembering the DTMF menu and press it while the voice recording played. But the recent systems I called did not allow this. It was like they intentionally made people wait to suffer the torture.<p>People call these systems as a last resort (At least I do). It should be illegal to make them so bad.<p>Also, I used to work with Telco side guys of these systems and they were very proud of these "capabilities".<p>Sorry for the rant. I had to vent it out.</p>

<p>So this is a common tactic.<p>I have experienced management assigning people to multiple projects, vaguely acknowledging a time split. The moment the actual work starts people have to go 100% on all projects. This is normal.</p>

<p>Besides rampant failures in communication and skills allocation, wild U turns of requirements were (sometimes, not even real business requirements) were holding back corporate environments doing a decent job.<p>With AI, I can only see the rate of such changes sky rocketing due to expectations wildly misaligned with reality. Hence we are unlikely to see any meaningful improvements.</p>
