I always assumed Dilbert was about a generic office, but Scott Adams has some surprising insight about politics specific to software development. Sadly I am guilty of this one.
In this and other Dilbert comic strips, the complaints devs had about the code that was written before they arrived is usually thrown out as a casual personality quirk. I'm not sure the author understands that there are very strong business reasons that the existing code is always shit, or that constantly rewriting different piece is the long-term scaling plan.
