re: #70 Romantic Heretic

Back when I was in coding I was briefly considering starting my own company which included a Potemkin Village.

That village would consist of actors, all nice, neat, and professional looking, in a nice, neat, and professional looking office, that I would show to the management of my clients.

The actual coders would be somewhere else, doing what they wanted as long as they made the deadlines.

Not sure it would work but considering how much I loathed management I would have enjoyed fooling them like that.

Enron did this - set up offices in which employees made fake trades to show interested parties a company “hard at work making money”.
