This works the other way around. You'll get a technical project manager, and they'll bring in a consultant to do some programming. "All you guys need to do is write a little code to interface X with Y, it should only take you a couple days" They don't think, "you'll need to get with this vendor, use this outdated software, follow these restrictions, make sure the UI matches up with the other program, interface with this authentication library..." That's all part of "Add UPS shipping support to our CRM software"

Just a checkbox. Why are you still working on it after a week!

  At that point you give them the checkbox. “Here it is, you’re right it was sooo easy, oh you wanted it to do something… yea that’s why it takes longer”

  It's all blocked because Galactus still doesn't support ISO timestamps. https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ

    Common mistake. It's Omega Star that doesn't support ISO timestamps even though they said they would, and Galactus (which supports ISO timestamps) is getting deprecated by the end of the month.

      It is Omega Star that doesn't support ISO timestamps, correct, but it is EKS (Entropy [K]haos Service?) that getting deprecated at the end of the month. Without that you can't provide a time stamp for the end of the universe to Galactus. Having said that, I am probably wrong too.

  > Why are you still working on it after a week! That's a failure on the developer's communication. If everyday you find a new challenge, then everyday you must communicate that new challenge. Code changes/features is not one to one. It's a bunch of changes to provide one feature. And remember we can at best estimate the time it will take us. Estimates are often wrong because of things we didn't know that we didn't know.
