A few years ago between projects, my coworkers cooked up some satirical amazing Web 2.0 data science tools. They used git, did a screencast and distributed it internally.

It was basically a few compiled perl scripts and some obfuscated shell scripts with a layer of glitz. People actually used it and LOVED it... It was supposedly better than the real tools some groups were using.

It was one of the more epic work trolls I've ever seen!




Maybe I'm misreading you, but it sounds like you're saying "my coworkers made something with a really great UI and people loved it!"
