Sitting in a meeting with the dev team planning our project and thinking to myself "we are completely fucked"

    Ah yes, that moment—when you either want to die laughing or sob uncontrollably—but can't figure out which is most appropriate. #SegfaultIRL

    @dreadedbytes meeting is long over and I still don't know whether to laugh or cry

    "hey, what's teams status?"
    "does completely fucked count?"
    "😓"

    @kgeorge81 Try doing both in rapid succession—maybe, just maybe, you'll throw of the PM's long enough to make a run for the exit. GODSPEED! haha

    I like those kick-off meetings where PM says the new project is like project x we did some time ago. And after the presentation of the system concept you start asking

    Q: "What about feature A, that sounds a bit different"
    A: "Oh, that is different, yes"

    Q: "What is this feature B, seems we don't have that in project x"
    A: "Yes, that's a new feature"

    Q: "What about interface C, is it identical to interface Z of project x?"
    A: "The interface is similar, but to another system that uses it slightly different"

    etc., etc.

    And at the end you have a project estimated on the effort to reuse existing stuff, where really 80% have to be build from scratch.
