Blaming the engineers rather than the businesses seems.. odd. It isn't like the people writing that code had control over what the company set as priorities. If anything, what you experienced seems to be a reflection of corporate short termism.
- dylan604 5y agoQuite right. The devs probably had a bunch of "TODO: This can be refactored" through out the code or at least mentally stored, yet the pointy haired bosses decided it was good enough and re-assigned the devs to other tasks.
- ironmagma 5y agoThat dichotomy falls apart because engineers are part of the business. If the business wants to do something but the engineers won’t do it, it won’t happen.
