[Wikitech-l] Implementing features for the sake of implementing features

Sometimes programmers waste their time for implementing non-useful/non-important features, but sometimes such features aren't just not useful, but harmful.[1; you are more than welcome to convince me otherwise] Both developers, designers and project managers should always ask themselves why do we
