Started as weekend project tracking abandoned git branches. Ended as philosophical investigation into what we actually build vs. what customers need. The Sven character is composite of 3 developers I've worked with across Spotify/F-Secure/startups.

Every absurd metric (almost) came from real observations, just amplified to satirical extremes.

Happy to discuss the real patterns behind the fiction.
