alt Hacker News> do I need to give this to someone else
If said this way he was a jerk. So good on em for making a joke.
"Why would this take so long?" would be better.
My guess like most things "you wanna retrofit audio and data cabling to your house. Find an electrician who can do that in an hour. Yes it is just wires".
>do I need to give this to someone else
Could mean "I didn't know you had so much stuff on your plate that takes precedence". You're giving 0 benefit of doubt to a PM who in my opinion was right to push back because for a non-technical person it's not easy to grasp why drag and drop should be so much harder than other similar impact features.
