Relative to this situation are you a Junior in this as well? I don’t mean to downplay your experience, but as you judge the devs you must also judge yourself.

Relative to this situation are you a Junior in this as well? I don’t mean to downplay your experience, but as you judge the devs you must also judge yourself. Your comment about productivity of the dev team is a red flag for me. They’re charged with containing this 20m revenue engine, it probably stresses them out big time. This is not the time to count feature development. When you’re treading water you don’t punish the survivors of the titanic for not also doing laps while they wait to be rescued. Given you’ve made no comment as to expanding the team, I can only assume the business owner wants to make more money without investing in this product. There’s no magical advice that will unfuck the executive level if that’s the case.
