&gt; There’s no such thing as a 10x engineer spending time on something that never ends up delivering business value. If something doesn’t deliver business value, it’s 0x.<p>If it&#x27;s your company then by all means you should listen to everyone&#x27;s advice. But if it&#x27;s not your company then you should give your advice, but if your employer doesn&#x27;t want it then that&#x27;s their issue. At that point there&#x27;s no ethical imperative on your part to try to prevent your business from going bankrupt, so as long as the checks keep clearing I don&#x27;t see the issue.
