Who else is frustrated/burnout at building products that never gets into production?

When I work for a company I always tend to do everything with good practices, spend a lot of time thinking on the best ways to build x feature, and then the company falls into the infinite loop of adding stupid features, and then I've been working for 2 years and 0 paid customers. Funny that we've Sentry, GA, Hotjar sitting there doing nothing.

I'm honestly hating the startup environment rn. Good thing is that I've learnt a lot and salary is good. But also I lost all motivation.

Any recommendations for a tired dev?

    focus on getting paid every month, and hell, if you really want to build something just build it for yourself.

    Happened to me once when I was a Jr. My product never went to production, actually at first I didn't care but later I was like "dude... Then why the fuck I did it?"

    Don’t get too emotionally caught up in it. Try to do 80% of the work with plans to incorporate best practices or additional items later but just make it deliverable enough to keep the monarchy happy.. they clearly don’t care and just want to see the shiny shit sadly.

    Me.

    Combine that with an annoying and arrogant senior.

    I am waiting if they are gonna give me enough raise this year to deal with all these BS.

    If not, then I am out of here

    @cho-uc those are the worst! I recommend you to prepare your portfolio and get out of there!

    I'm actually having the opposite issue where everything is always too urgent because it's already in production
