At first, I thought that you declared Indian immigrants as a minimum viable product. After some googling I guess it's meant to be most valuable players. Small but significant difference. 😂
While we're on this tangent, I've always felt the need to point out the following.
Minimum Viable Product = Poorly planned, or not planned at all, crappy product that is created in haste by overworked, stressed out developers to make some middle manager in a suit and sneakers type feel like they're doing something to please corporate, because they don't have the guts or good sense to push back. This abomination is usually sold as "we'll flesh it out in phase two." Phase two never happens, because they're off chasing whatever other shiny thing they think is important. Also, the last MVP that they farted out "didn't gain traction." /rant
Some places have switched to MLP, “Minimum Lovable Product” for this reason, but that just really means My Little Pony.
Oh shit that would have been so bad hahah
Why does the same acronym have meanings on two extremes :(
In short, consultancies.
There are many good ones, and many rip off artists who spend as much time disguising their horseshit as they would just doing real work. At a certain point, consultancies started hiring less and less experienced people who had to sell more and more bullshit.
Acronyms and abbreviations are psychologically powerful; they imply something is commonplace or important to the point of it not needing to be spelled out. When you suddenly coin a random one you can pretend you know something the listener doesn't-- you're right back to the emperor's new clothes--most people are too scared to ask. Any industry, same shit.
I like all the acronyms and shit. It helps me know who to ignore, or avoid working for / with.
