I buried the lede a bit, but my frustration has been feeling like _nobody_ on my team prioritizes quality and instead optimizes for feature velocity, which then leaves some poor sod (me) to pick up the pieces to keep everything ticking over... but then I'm not shipping features.
At the end of the day if my value system is a mismatch from my employer's that's going to be a problem for me, it just baffles me that I keep ending up in what feels like an unsustainable situation that nobody else blinks at.
- whiplash451 6mo agoThat's a different situation than the one I had in mind. I was assuming a sane culture that balances shipping features and quality work. What you're describing sounds like a serious value function mismatch.
