    Hey, sometimes we put a little effort into our acronyms. I published a component named UTI and it was too late to change it by the time management caught on.

      That can’t be true, because it’s never to late for management to edict changes to a project, even just on a whim.

        “Actually we decided we’re going to take this project in a completely different direction. Go ahead and rework 90% of what you just created over the last six months.”

        It was a trivial enough component that upper management couldn’t be bothered to give a shit, and middle management was toothless. I left before HR had to get involved again.
