This goes along in the hall of fame with the "how hard can it be", Turns out, if you want to do it right, more often than not, very hard.

Lol. I think a disconnect that engineers often have with product people is that product people want it to be done now (right or not) and engineers want it to be done right, which obviously takes more time. But I think a good engineer knows how to get it 80% of the way there quickly, and knows which 20% is ok to sacrifice or take on as tech debt.

Alas I'm not one of those engineers, but I'm fortunate enough to work with some.
