That's a crazy story. My guess would have been, not that the product never worked, but that the delivered version was hacked together in the last 24 hours before delivery and never made it into source control. You know the technical details - do you think something like that could have happened, or really no one tried to use the product even once?
- pjerem 5y agoNo, I don’t think it was changed. I just think that the people who bought the tool weren’t the engineers who needed it and that for some reason the engineers never ended using it, maybe because they didn’t even knew about the existence of the tool or because they felt it was useless to them. I don’t even remember them to be involved in the project, but once again, shitty company, I had no direct contacts with the end users. Everything was proxied with their buyings dept, our sales dept, and our product « managers » (who really liked their job of not being anything more than well paid proxies between sales and programmers). With this setup, I’m pretty sure our product, as complex as it was, was probably useless to them. But meh, I left this company and I now work at a nicer company where I’m truly motivated knowing our end users enjoy using our products.
