> just validates badly planned deadlines I’ve spread this message far and wide across dozens (hundreds?) of industries. I’m sure we know but I think it’s helpful to be explicit: the mindset at the heart of this is not specific to software and can be found at pretty much every management level and it’s hurting everything. At “best” you have an endless stream of overworked employees who burn out and get replaced when they stop being able to “keep up” but even then the business has no idea what things actually cost. They can’t do budgeting, they can’t do calculations, every report based on employee productivity is wrong. Working beyond your means sets the company up for long-term failure.
