Preparedness Paradox
I’m having this struggle with projects at work. I’ve had to push back on all sorts of requests from our project manager and designer so that our team has the bandwidth to focus on some very important stability and security concerns for our next release. They want all sorts of additional fancy bells and whistles (that don’t add much user value or functionality) that we just can’t focus on right now, because it would come at the expense of making sure the feature is actually stable and secure.<p>I’m almost positive there will be some amount of blowback when the thing releases and there are no stability or security problems…which was only because I made sure we spent the necessary time on them.
