I think this is a good article. It works well for internal "sales" too, where the main budget is developer time instead of dollars (which translates to dollars eventually of course). I've worked in these sort of teams for the greater part of my career and I've learned that the word "permissions", as referenced in the article, is an immediate trigger for asking for more capital i.e. dev resources to complete the project.
As the classic xkcd comic[1] implies, there is a large difference in difficulty for certain tasks that may be seen as roughly equal in effort to the end user.

- SwellJoe 9y agoIt's interesting that the "virtually impossible" task of a few years ago is a joke app of today ("Hot dog or not hot dog"). Machine learning is moving fast lately.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 9y agoIndeed. The field is moving quickly. Part of the joke though was that the problem is still hard enough that the app was only able to identify one food item. We're getting closer, but it's still quite a hard problem.
