So i was working on a small decision support system for a hospital. Some designer recommended their chart control and i used it in project.

In final stage, client asked for empty values support, i check and found that in next release they have this feature. So i said yes and gave them 1 week estimate. Assuming all i have to do is replace radchart dll.

But, I was wrong. I upgraded the Radchart and found 70% code is not working. Forget working, it's not even compiling anymore. Insted of deprecating the method, they remove it right away in next minor release.

I don't think there was any architect or senior programmers in their team.

In my previous company designers or managers fell for their shiny features and got trapped. Crappy product!

Another HP+Autonomy kinda scam.
