    I dont care if the feature I’ve worked on gets canceled. The lost work is management’s problem, not mine; I still get paid the same.

      That’s how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don’t care what they do with the software.

      👆 This. In my experience, I’ve seen a lot of developers get upset about “their code” not being used, time wasted, or someone else changing the code after the fact. Who cares? Once you commit that code, it’s no longer your code. It’s the company’s code. Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅

        bruh, the scenario you’re describing is meant to be “code shipped = bonus pay” not “code not shipped = less pay”

      When I’m at some corpo writing corpo crap, I don’t really care because I already got paid.

      Yeah but then you don’t get a promotion because you didn’t have an impact… I’m sorry, impact is not in my job description.
