Tales for AI Times: The Final Code [Tale no.
4]
Moh, an expert app developer, had spent five years building
cutting-edge software at his company. But now, he was ready for a break—a long
sabbatical to unwind and explore other opportunities.
The company’s CEO, impressed by Moh's work over the years,
asked him for one final favour before he left. CEO asked him to develop a new
app for their Q-commerce division.
Although Moh’s mind was already halfway into his vacation, he
reluctantly agreed. The CEO trusted Moh so much that he gave him full freedom
on the project—no managers, no oversight. Moh just had to deliver the app.
Wanting to finish quickly and move on, Moh hurried through
the project. He cut corners, skipped some of the usual testing, and delivered a
product that was not quite up to his usual standards. Satisfied just to be done
with it, he handed over the app and prepared for his departure.
On his farewell day, the CEO praised Moh's years of
dedication and hard work. Then, with a smile, the CEO handed Moh a surprise
gift. A folder containing a royalty deed. It stated that all the profits
generated by the new app would go directly to Moh.
As the realization hit him, Moh was speechless. In his rush
to quit, he had botched the app, and now, he would own the results of that
final piece of work—good or bad.

Did this remind you of the story of the mason building his
last house? In today’s tech-driven world, the lesson is still relevant -
rushing through your work or not giving your best effort can come back to you
in unexpected ways, especially when the results are ultimately yours to keep.
