Recently left a company that mostly just wanted random stuff to be glued onto an early prototype for years now. It just gets progressively more and more infuriating as it almost becomes obvious that a full rewrite would take less time than adding the stupid <thing of the week> that the management wants. Doubly so with AI acceleration for new projects.

After a while it becomes impossible to convince anyone to ditch the prototype because of all the testing hours that have been poured into it, making for a very strong sunk cost fallacy.
