That's eye opening, thank you! I've once worked on a "hard" statistical model and all I got from my boss' boss was a "who cares" face. Then he was so happy to see our (to my view) dumb web app, he didn't even realized it was the model behind that app that consumed 80% of my time/energy :/
- phist_mcgee 5y agoI've had this plenty of times, where praise and accoaldes come down tot he person who made the prettiest or shiniest thing. It's kind of why I moved into frontend development, I always have something so show every week, and management are always happy, since I always look like I have made amazing progress. It's gaming the system, but I would rather this, than what you experienced, where the developer looks like they are wasting time in the eyes of management.
