This situation stifles learning because engineers rarely engage in tasks that require critical thinking, experimentation, or collaboration beyond following instructions. Without continual skill development or exposure to architecture, automation, and problem-solving, engineers become stuck in stagnant roles. This absence of growth not only harms their career prospects but also weakens the broader IT community by creating a labor pool lacking depth and versatility. Additionally, systems maintained under SES often lack resilience and adaptability, as repetitive manual processes are prone to errors and inefficiencies. Over time, this can cause technical debt accumulation and increased operational risk, leaving organizations vulnerable to failures and slow to innovate. | This situation stifles learning because engineers rarely engage in tasks that require critical thinking, experimentation, or collaboration beyond following instructions.

With these current challenges, SMEs confronted with the SES dilemma should consider shifting toward FOSS solutions rather than relying heavily on SES contractors. FOSS provides transparent tools supported by global communities, offering long-term technological stability and continuous innovation. For SMEs, adopting FOSS enables building internal expertise to manage and customize systems, reducing dependence on unreliable external labor. This approach builds skill development within the company, helping employees solve real problems, contribute to code, and gain practical experience beyond routine manual work. | With these current challenges, SMEs confronted with the SES dilemma should consider shifting toward FOSS solutions rather than relying heavily on SES contractors.
