I work on an app for my company where requirements start as “we wish to show a message to the customer if their order is abandoned”. So I build out the feature and the requirements change to “we want that message to be customizable from the dashboard”. Now I have built a feature that could theoretically be built to function as in the screenshot, since I’m not longer in control of the text that is showed.
Thankfully my company isn’t scum of the earth, but it’s easy to see how multiple people assumed the features were being used for good intention, and a non-engineer used it to make a few extra bucks.
