the hardest thing with deadlines and dev is that architecture is hard to measure without years of experience at actually implementing feature sets

very often marketing is in charge of feature sets and architects rapidly turn grey and drop dead of heart attacks by deadline

that is, if the architects are actually qualified, and IMO, software architects can only be called qualified after 10 years working as an engineer

there is no magic trick learning how to spec out a project without getting into overruns and quality problems due to deadlines and unrealistic expectations of management

We've got that at my day job right now. The deadline is artificially imposed by the big trade show, the research and product teams take their time in figuring out what they want to debut at the trade show, they ask the devs to do it, the devs say "there's not enough time before the trade show," and chaos ensues. 😅

yeah, my most recent "release" was that

i already knew by that point it couldn't stand up to 24 hours running, but perfectly fine and great without many users on it
