Wow, thanks for the insight! All this time I thought I was supposed to be using tools with a half-assed understanding. It makes so much sense now! :)
Seriously though, what I was suggesting is that some companies make promises to their customers, on behalf of their engineering team without understanding (or properly estimating) the impact and technology involved. Then it's a mad rush to get something delivered. I understand this is a bad way to do business but it's a sad reality.
You made the perfect target for my point, sorry about that :) I think it's a good point to really push at though. Something we as techs need to push up in the agenda of management.
Yes, and then everybody is upset that things aren't delivered on time/riddled with bugs. There's no way escape out of sync management.

Bad management. Managers in tech companies must have tech background. I was burned before, joining big banking corps, where managers are just bureaucrats, quit with regret for a lost time.
Next time, I will vet the management layer before joining.
