In the same vein: "Shipping useless code".
I worked at a company who created a product that everyone (except the bosses) knew was useless. A minimum of a million dollars went into it. Yes it shipped, but very few customers used it. That's seriously damaging to morale. The worst part was that we knew we were working on something useless.
- nvarsj 3y agoA similar thing happened to me. It's absolutely bizarre when it's happening and even more so in retrospect. Every engineer knows it's a product that no one wants. That experience triggered terrible burn out for me.
