″...With the Terminal Values of Their Employer”
(blink)
Of what employer are you presuming quality code is a terminal value?
EDIT: Or, if I’ve misunderstood you… what employer terminal values are you presuming, here?
Uh, I think he’s saying exactly that it wasn’t.
And the things they did to software went beyond all bounds of rational use testing and were more akin to software torture.
That suggests that they spent way more time on ensuring quality that was actually merited by the goals of helping users.
If you read the whole article though (it’s a page long!) it’s clear that management loved it.
Yes, this was what I meant.
