I hear what you're saying; but the implications seem ... net harmful? If you're actively hacking something together with the intent of boosting a valuation, selling your company and GTFOing before your purchasers figure out the bag of unmaintainable garbage you've sold them, that ...

You're harming:

  * your customers who trusted you
  * the people that purchased your product

I think "grift" is a good term (GPT recommended 'predatory exit' as an alternative) for what a team that's done that has done.

There’s nothing wrong with iterating fast or building MVPs. But when teams knowingly pass off a brittle mess to others, they’ve stopped building products and started selling lies.
