Your resume would get pretty barren if all you do is fixing bugs. Shipping features/products is how you get promoted.

Counterpoint: If you don't fix enough bugs, you won't have any customers. Customers don't care about new features or products if they are buggy messes that don't work correctly. virologist's commentary and question to the community is whether it makes sense for FAANG companies to ship so many new features when many of them offer little core product value.
- virologist 5y agoI understand the incentive and pressing need from the dev perspective. but shouldn't the management say "no this feature is an overhead".
- trinovantes 5y agoIf management plans to work at the company for life, sure. But with average tenures in the 2-4 years, they're also incentivized to ship new products/features.
