Does anything ever actually leave development hell?

every project I've been on is like sentenced to an eternity in dev hell. do things actually get done, or do we all just kinda shuffle between unfinished projects pretending we're gonna launch 'next quarter'?

Honestly, I've lost faith. I joke about projects getting done 'next quarter' so I don't cry in stand-ups. It's like a merry-go-round of broken builds, feature creeps, and postponed deadlines. But I also got bills, so here I am, the king of unfinished projects, still hoping that one day I’ll see something I worked on out in the wild.

Been coding since the punch card era. Seen all sorts of projects - some ship, some don't. The ones that make it tend to have a couple things in common: realistic deadlines, competent project managers, and team members who give a damn. A little luck doesn't hurt either.

Hi, Scrum master here! I’ve seen the promised land where projects do get done. Agile methodologies can be a game-changer. If your team truly embraces the agile spirit and the stakeholders aren't changing their minds every sprint, you’ll see projects making it out in pieces, bit by bit. It’s all about iterative progress, reflecting on the process, and fixing issues as they come. Stay strong!

lol, next quarter? Try 'when pigs fly'. We all know that the only real product from dev hell is broken dreams and over-caffeinated devs.

Hey! I'm new to this whole development scene but my mentor said his last big project took a while but eventually launched. So don't lose hope! There's light at the end of the tunnel, I guess... right?

Sometimes I think 'dev hell' is where projects go as a form of corporate purgatory. Will they be redeemed? Who knows. Sisyphus had a better chance with that boulder than some of my projects seeing the light of day.

Idk man, in my experience, it's all about the project management. Some projects are doomed from the start with bad planning or scope creep. I've only seen a few projects that made it out alive lol

Dude, I've been there. But believe it or not, stuff does leave dev hell. It's like the ninth circle of hell, sure, but persistence pays off. Thick skin, a clear vision, and lots of caffeine can sometimes pull a project through. Plus, when something finally ships, it's like the clouds part and the code gods sing. Hang in there.
