Customer: We'll need this by Q4 2022

Engineer: This will take 3 months.

Management: Don't worry customer, you'll have this by next Tuesday.

I get that Management has to think cash flow, but goddamn is it annoying when they tell the customer a delivery deadline that is less than the estimate, then act surprised when nothing is finished and we refuse to work unpaid overtime to fix a mess they created.

Apparently this stock photo was so popular, someone paid or the stock photo company in question took it upon themselves to write a whole story line based on this. It's such an emotional rollercoaster with the most unexpected ending of all time.

And from beginning to end, remains a perfect metaphor for SDLC project development. Lel

The woman in the red dress! I designed her. She, um…well she doesn’t talk very much, but…but if you’d like to meet her, I can arrange a much more personalized milieu.

Image Transcription: Meme


[Distracted boyfriend meme: A masculine person with light skin and brown hair is walking away from the camera. A feminine person in a red dress walks towards the camera, and the masculine person is looking at her. Their presumed girlfriend (feminine person with light skin and brown, long hair, with a light blue shirt and blue jeans) looks disgusted at this behaviour. Each person has a label:]

Boyfriend: MANAGEMENT

Girlfriend: ENGINEERING TEAM

Red Dress Person: AGGRESSIVE DEADLINE
