> I already have a master's thesis. This was harder. – ais523 Expecting teams to do more than a master's for every desktop app? You're not going to have businesses if you apply the standard of this post to everything. Respectfully, the attitude of "optimize the world and damn the consequences" feels like it usually comes from people who haven't tried to deal with the realities of making money with code, even at a level of just understanding why your manager is telling you that they're pushing the release forward against your suggestion.

> Expecting teams to do more than a master's for every desktop app? If that were possible, I don't think it would be unreasonable. A Master's degree is two-ish years, so about two person-years of effort. Once you're looking at even a small team, a desktop app would often have far more effort put into it. Instead of 'a desktop app', I think the better comparison is to note that this is a FizzBuzz program. By design, it doesn't do any useful or algorithmically complicated work. It's a canonical example of a trivial program. If you imagine putting Master's thesis levels of effort into every trivial part of a desktop application, then you'd start to outline the full scope of the problem. Rather than a "Master's thesis" effort, you'd be looking at something like a full, crash research program like the Apollo project.
