that seems ... impossible. almost every single project I have worked on always ended up not really what we had hoped for. maybe you've generally worked at larger places and I've generally worked at smaller? 3 reasons I can think of why projects fall short - hubris: you were never really going to be able to do that in the time and resource limits anyways bad actor: maybe we should really fire Joey, but hiring is hard, and stuff is kinda getting done..if we can just keep it together another quarter general structural dysfunction: we have a bad culture. no one can really depend on any one else, and its kind of not clear what we're doing anyways. (1) is a given, but usually isn't the whole story. (3) almost mandates the appearance of (2). but (2) kind of depends on having at least some kind of twisted competence, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do that much damage. so are you in a (3) dominant situation...or do you live in the place beyond the mists where we get what we need to done and have a great time doing it?
