1. Build features at all costs
2. Eventually a high profile client has a major issue during an event, costing them a ton of goodwill
3. Leadership pauses everything and the company only works on bugfixes and tech debt for a week or two
I onboarded during step 3. I should have taken that as a warning that that's how the company operated. If your company doesn't make time for bugfixes and getting out of its own way, that culture is hard to change.
