This leads to an appreciation of the toxicity of short-term incentives.
There's a reason I think very, *very* poorly of managers that lean on date-driven delivery: they are consistently externalising costs in ways that they *can and should* appreciate. That takes the form of high-interest unstructured loans against future product and team capacity.
But far too many engineering leaders assume *ceteris paribus* ("all else equal") will hold.
That's not how the fishtank works.
