"continuing to work on an already-shipped project is a very common mistake. Declare victory and walk away!" Maybe that's why we swim in the sea of barely done apps with terrible performance. It's time to demand quality of the app vendors. Uninstall facebook until it starts in 2s and works flawlessly. Use ublock until the ads stop slowing down a site. Uninstall any messaging app that cannot show you paginated history of messages, that is easy to search and to go back to given moment. Refuse to play single player games that require constant connection to vendor server. Maybe then these managers will learn that shipping A product is not an end. Shipping POLISHED product is.

That's exactly what I facepalmed to. But the higher-ups are still more responsible as they are the ones setting rules. And the rule is: make half-finished thing if you want to get the promotion. On the other hand - engineers should not call something done unless it's really done. Especially in presence of any manager.

I never buy anything that doesn't put its price upfront, at least for a basic configuration. I understand that any customization will change the price, and usually the cost will increase in this case. I'm OK with it. I also understand that when something is designed from scratch, then the price may only be known after the design. But I've only been in such situation once. In most cases it's just hiding the vital information from the customer.

My phone became overstimulated and hot :o It is actually addictive even when I know it's totally stupid. Good to know I am not resistant to these "games". Nice experiment, thanks for sharing!
