A software company in Brazil was tasked with developing a police force digital system before the 2014 World Cup. The project was significantly undersized for the available engineering team, requiring an unrealistic timeline. Management hired numerous unqualified personnel, creating a "man-month problem." To compensate, the engineers were forced into intense crunch mode, working excessively long hours to meet the deadline. A proposed feature for citizens to submit incident photos was nicknamed the "dick-pic encyclopedia" and deemed too risky. The critical police car tracking system suffered from a bug related to unreliable cellular connections in favelas. Debugging this issue involved a precarious ride-along in a dangerous neighborhood. Ultimately, the delivered system was substandard and over budget. The company faced lawsuits for this and other similar projects, nearly going out of business. The narrator left the company due to unpaid overtime and the project's problematic execution.
