I think that there is truth in this posting, having been at a large insurance company for 10 years. Some of what he is saying may be particular to banks, but there is an "enterprise" software mindset that his description is a fair representation of, for large commercial financial outfits.

By the way, I did c++ for most of those ten years, and my team (very small) was the only c++ in the sea of thousands and thousands of programmers.

And they did have a grid effort (which produced a particular astonishing very positive result), all written in c#. But again that was a very small team.
