Spin? My leaky, fragile, missing important parts, flaky prototype has been sold for a lot of money and is now supporting business decisions.... Spin? Like tail spin....

When the prototype explodes in exactly the way I expect it to management are not going to reward me...

I said it is not ready. Several times. To the point where management stopped taking my calls.....

Manageable amount of bugs? There is a problem of definition here.

The cost of developing a prototype that demonstrates the interesting and cool parts of the project - whilst leaving the tricky bits for implementation is my job. So I gota ask: that cost is too high for whom?

It has been fun....
