We’re building a new feature at work.
This is the third attempt to build something.
The first two were cut short by management and then finished by another company for us.
So why should I waste time caring about this feature?
It will get farmed out like the other two.
All the while, they’re paying me.
Roadblocks. Obstructions. Lack of input from customers.
“So let us talk to the customers,” we say.
“Can’t,” management says. “Privacy policy.”
So, we guess what the customer wants, and we work in a vacuum.
Until we’re cut short, and end up on another project.
