This story could have ended another way as well: project started to generate revenue, so a rewrite using a completely new team was scheduled, and tho do-gooders were stuck fixing old crap for ever.

Lol. That’s reality as I see it. Agile has made it worse for the guerrillas, though for more fun for the “others” promoting the methodology and moving onto the next project. The “others” rarely reap what was sown.

But, hey: job security man! Viva la Revolution!!

haha, you’re right, it is depressing. But I guess the lesson is that everyone needs some management/communication skillz. Don’t do stuff under the radar. Buy the time from management and use it.

The conclusion is don’t do work under the radar if you want to be rewarded for it.

Don’t expect others to change their behavior based on your activities if your activities are not visible.
