  I think he knows he's working in a feature factory. What's hard is knowing what you can do to change it. Where I work, we happen to have a pretty relaxed management. While they always have a ton of deadlines and always push for more work, they largely don't care about the outcome, so you can just ignore it. Every once in a while something will be actually important, but mostly it's just dumb roadmaps for features that don't add value. What my team has found helpful is to just ignore those fake tasks, and just create the features we actually believe will be valuable. Hopefully we can leverage our outcomes (and the collected data) to convince management that our way is better. Some day.
