The term used by Googlers is embarrassingly similar, "Perf driven development".

I mean that's kinda how most industries work, just replace the word "development" with whatever that industry does

  Except the things that a salesman sells don't stop existing once they're promoted, because the company is invested in the products, which Google seems singularly unable to do. Google is an R&D company really, not a consumer one.

I wonder if I should collect a bunch of these... Off the top of my head, I've observed: - Resume Driven Development: wherein enterprise contractors and developers inject as many fad frameworks, architectures, and uncalled for features unnecessarily. - Vendor Driven Development: wherein the application architecture is tie to a cloud solutions billing model as much as possible. - Search Engine Driven Development: wherein the code is just a bunch of copy/pasted code that isn't really understood, and doesn't really work together coherently. - Ignorance Driven Development: wherein a perfectly serviceable solution which is better in every way was not used, simply because the developer saw a problem and immediately went to code, without looking at how everyone else in the world solves the problem. - Delusion Driven Development: wherein a completely useless application is beautifully crafted based on the obvious delusions of a manager or founder, which have successfully spread to the development team without any critical push-back or data to back the deluded assertions of the authority that has deemed the software necessary.

  Autocomplete Driven Development: when you don't know the language that well yet, but IDE-support is superb.

  Hope Driven Development - everything sucks right now, but it must get better. Right? RIGHT?

  Mortgage driven development - where the developer didn’t want to be there.
