> Overtaxing your engineering effort is a surefire way to end up with hard-to-maintain work. Unless you are developing a throwaway prototype, hard-to-maintain work is one of the fastest ways to cause engineering fatigue Sadly this was still all par-for-the-course back when I was in the industry and all my old contacts still affirm that this is the case today across most studios. Easier to burn people, ship something and then re-hire/train a new batch. It's a shame the incentives of development aren't aligned with reasonable employment, the industry would be a lot better for it.
