Here is the Big Investment Bank version of "resume driven development": - "Legacy" trading system in place (old but battle tested) - New head of technology for the business comes in - They get the bright idea to retire the old system and roll out a new system - They promise ridiculous deadlines - Roll out a half baked new system and retire AT MOST 60% of the old system - They bounce to the next role at another firm b/c they have "retired legacy trading system / rolled out new system" on their resume Meanwhile, the new system ALWAYS has some giant outage or near miss due to the rushed deadlines.
