    For many (hi /u/spez) it’s more like “We’ll burn that bridge when we get there”.

        I like to say “We’ll cross that bridge while it’s burning”

    The pain of explaining why Product can’t have their cake, eat it, give it away and sell it to the highest bidder all at once is real 🤣

      What do you mean we’ve got to learn a new language in a week and spend another week getting this ready for the customer? Next favorite was, “learn this new piece of software, install it, configure it, and hand it over to the customer in a week.”

    Don’t forget the impossible timelines.

    A marketing person once told me (an engineer) that his legs were made for dancing.

    … So he could say whatever to customers and weasel out of it.

      “Marketing” is a corporate euphemism for manipulation.

    Not only presenting a solution that is impossible to build but telling the potential customers it’s already there and just needs small adjustments to fit their needs. YoU cAn Do It In OnE wEeK, rIgHt? JuSt AsK cHaTgPt
