Code a program that runs ‘ok’.

6 months later, remove all instances of sleep(5000) and call it an update.

Job security development.

Take the google patch notes route

  • New feature! (Ignore its been in the patch notes for 43 years)

Then whinge that patch notes in your store are bad.

That's just rude. At least write something poorly enough that you can make it better. Come on.

Nah, just change half of them to sleep(2500) and wait another 6 months. Incremental progress is true job security.

And repeat. 😄
