You know, it depends...
Impossible and strict deadlines simply because of cost control is shooting yourself in the foot.
Impossible deadlines because of a really important deal worth actual money, is probably worth sweating over,at the risk of code quality. If all projects tend to be the latter case, it's probably actually the first case packaged as the second...
- Clubber 10y agoSure, sometimes it's just a matter of survival. Get this code released by this date or we sink. That's an unfortunate place to be in, requires a lot of focus under stress and is rarely rewarded. It's gratifying for me to be successful in those circumstances, but too many of them and I have to find a saner place to work. Management starts to take miracles as the norm by planning them (if they even do) and it leads to burnout.
