And i don't see it anywhere in this situation. They're asked to do a job a certain way (or for management, to make sure it happens in a certain way), and they do that to the best of their ability.

Could they do it better from an performance/software engineering standpoint if they had infinite time/budget? for sure. But that's not the world we live in.

Nah, I'm sick of trying to get you to understand that it's not the person I'm talking about, but the mentality of management through the whole process. I don't know if you're just not reading the words I write or what, but I'm not willing to keep repeating the same point to a wall

In a way I understand him, the culture is too one sided in its values. There isn't a balance or a good middle ground. If you appreciate irony, it's too optimised for "features". For which I generally agree. So the people upholding these values are too lazy to find the balance.

As an aside, every Dev I know would love to endlessly iterate and improve a single thing. So I understand finding that balance isn't easy either.
