re: #321 Dopamine Fish
It’s the same old classic story: The Big Boss (tm) gives a directive without consulting the engineers at all. The engineers scramble to shape a pile of hot garbage into a vaguely spec-compliant product by the deadline. Three weeks later, a zero-day exploit either takes down the whole system, or exposes a metric fuck-ton of customer data. Legal gets involved.
