Dilbert moment I remember is from a few years ago I was presenting a proposal to create a web app with a bunch of front-end engineering requirements to the "CTO" of a large transportation company once. We covered topics like JSON-LD schema, HTTP/2, responsive images, asset fingerprinting, that the solution would include and provide etc.
He asked us why we can't "build the website on wix".
- ttymck 4y ago> He asked us why we can't "build the website on wix". This strikes me as a very effective question. Even if the answer is "because wix can't do asset fingerprinting, etc", then the CTO now knows the limitations of wix. And, it also leads to the question: "why are responsive images, asset fingerprinting, etc _absolutely essential_ to solving the business use case", i.e. Could we build a valuable product even without those technical details.
