grit
an ugly force for good
I trust you'll retain that same nonchalant, shoulder shrugging attitude if any of your work gets pulled under similarly arbitrary circumstances elsewhere.
Pretty much, as I said in the line you didnt quote. There is a risk reward ratio thats evaluated prior to commencing development. The project stake holders review and decide if its still compelling. If it gets the green light, its done with the understanding that it could very well go tits up.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't be disappointed, but I wouldn't be upset/angry about it. That said I dont usually sign up to projects that have high risk factors, I've got a bank manager to keep happy.
