Yeah, I get your point.

But everything was upside down with that team, not just payment. They had a completely different philosophy when it came to software development.

For instance we were encouraged to just close tasks. It didn't matter what we did as long as the build and code reviewer were happy.

Part of the philosophy was that if developers can abuse and break the project, the project is not good enough and must be toughened. Then, developers were encouraged to find other loopholes.

This methodology worked wonders for small projects, libraries. It didn't go well for big projects, obviously.
