    I used to be an animator, and we’d deliberately put in obviously bad things just so the director could spot them and tell us to take them out so he felt like he was doing something lol.

    But that’d probably work for writing too

      We did this at my last job. Couldn’t get user specs or feedback on fucking anything. Total unwillingness to commit.

      So we’d build the software wrong just so they could feel powerful and smart ‘making’ us change it. System requirements the stupid-hard way.
