> Is missing deadlines common in software development? Yes. > What should a software developer do when company is giving unrealistic workloads and deadlines? Depends on the org, but mainly, give realistic feedback, that includes what can be realistically expected to be delivered. > What do software developers do when they are forced to write a code/project within an impossible deadline? Keep calm and carry on. Deadlines are someone else's problem, if they don't want them missed, it's their responsibility to communicate clearly enough with the developers to set realistic deadlines and expectations.
