Let's say we have a restaurant. I can do all these things to be more "efficient": - Restrict cleaning, washing and hygiene at a large to the surfaces seen by customers. - Reuse food from leftovers. - Use expired or different ingredients. In the restaurant industry, if you do this and get caught, you get sanctioned. In software there's no such thing. In software do the equivalent of these things on purpose, and many times it's encouraged. Neglecting requirements in order to distort the perception of how much progress has been made, or the product value, is anti-consumer behavior. I am not interested in anti-consumer behavior but rather doing my job and giving back to society. That means shipping code that meets the expectations of what's being sold.
