Are you an engineering manager? This doesn't match my experiences at all.
- colechristensen 7y agoAs engineering orgs are usually so bad that they consistently have a years' work "to do" regardless of actual usefulness or business need. The opposite problem of people without the drive to find work to do is people driven to constantly change or improve things without clear ideas about why it needs to be done or if it is justifiable. Repeat for a few years and your product is a mish-mash of half completed upgrades held together with twine and yet another rehash in planning to finally fix it all.
