I took it as software engineers tend to build for scalability. And yep, IT often isn't prepared for that or sees it as wasted resources.

Which isn't a bad thing. IT isnt seeing the demands the manager/customer wants.

I'm glad you've done both because yeah, it's a seesaw.

If IT provisions just enough hardware, we'll hit bottlenecks and crashes when there's a surprise influx of customers. If software teams don't build for scale, same scenario, but worse.

From the engineer perspective, it's always better to scale with physical hardware. Where IT is screaming, "We dont have the funds!"
