I want to keep working as an Engineer because I will be directly involved in the project. Engineer also have an important part to perform in the project. If an engineer’s job is done so poorly as to make the product non-marketable, the product will fail and won’t be used. When the quality along all dimensions passes the adoption threshold, every improvement along any dimension is effectively a gift to the users – who’d be using the product anyway. This is false where improvements contribute significantly to popularity, but true where they don’t.
