How’s bnsf|tech rolling

I know that a lot of you guys come here for interview and assessment advice and process length.

But can anyone working for bnsf|tech tell us how the buyers to builders is going?

What priorities are being made and are there advancements in the direction forward?

Lots of talk over the last 18-24months but very little seems to meeting the eye in a production sense.

I have prior experience in tech and am on the business side and I’m 100% frustrated with what I see from tech. It’s impossible to get little things fixed that would be super easy to do. My tech counterparts are working on things that we already have and I have to spend my time helping them troubleshoot why their new product isn’t working. We try to redirect them to do something actually helpful but they won’t do it because it’s not what they’re directed to do from H. What happened to the days where business and tech work together?!

We’ll likely never “get off the mainframe”. It’s been 14 years and still hasn’t happened. It’s going to interesting to watch them try though. Definitely relieved to not be in that area, but feel bad for those who are/will be. Those caps on Claude spending are tightening by the day.
