A quarter of my output over the last 12 years has ended up this way. But most of those projects were built as MVPs to prove a concept by installing a demo system in situ and we learned a ton from it. And some of those projects I finished for 1/100 the cost of our competitors POC systems in the same market. A lot of what makes my job enjoyable or not is in whether there’s a business case for what I’m doing. If some VP is asking me to fiddle around with something that’s never going anywhere I’ll be miserable. But if I’m fiddling around to build something that drives more revenue or makes people happy with our product then I’m there.
