MODERATORS
Top: Me explaining the feature to other engineers
Bottom: Product management explaining their feature idea to engineering
Bottom seems like a typical user request, made by at least 3 different departments of the customer not really agreeing on how things work day to day on their site.
Plot twist: this ”super urgent” request was actually never needed (as shown by usage metrics).
And then there are management devs that throw out half the code then complain it doesnt work anymore
