> Sunk cost fallacy. The developer has a product to sell regardless of how much effort was spent getting there; they own it and only need to sell it or even license it.
How is "the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it" relevant?
When a developer spends time on code that no one ever pays money for, whoever is employing that developer has lost money, probably a lot of it.
When a salesperson sits at home unemployed, it costs the company who will eventually employ them nothing.
How in the world are you trying to claim a sunken cost fallacy in this case? Did you respond to the wrong post? I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
