> Why do so many tech companies have these Kafkaesque exception paths?

Support doesn't scale. Better that a million users have a terrible experience than one user takes up staff time getting their problem fixed.



> Support doesn't scale.

If you cannot (or don't want to) scale support, create the policies from beginning in a way that hardly needs any support. Just like you plan your database from beginning how it is supposed to scale.


I don't understand if you truly believe that or are trying to be sarcastic (poorly).


Either way it's a comment that adds nothing constructive to the discussion.
