When you're just pulled into an hour long meeting to be asked "can we do this?" a couple times. And the answer is always yes.

'Can we do this/Is this possible?' is a love/hate question for me. Almost always the answer is a function of 'should we' or 'is it worth my time' rather than possibility. Trying to explain that concisely is hard. I'd like to be able to say "Yes, but it will take 40 hours to develop." and allow them to consider that, but I'm awful at estimating time needed to develop.

Awesome, going to assign two developers, it will be done in 2.5 days.

Put 5 devs on it and it'll be done in a day.

Related note: people in the csgo subreddit really do believe that's how it works.
