Boss - so how long will this transport booking app take, native android and iOS ....plus backend, plus localization, plus live location tracking, blah blah.

Me - at least 4 months, or more

Boss - HOW can an app take MONTHS? That is totally unacceptable, it’s not gonna work this way, blah blah. I’m giving u 2 months, tops. No project should take more than 2 months.

Boss - so this new e-commerce app needs to be made, u have api. How long?

Me - 2 months coz ——-

Boss - WHATTTTT!!!??? 2 months for an APP!!???? What is this? Not gonna work this way, you should make apps in a week. Other people make apps in a week.

    Boss GF: This needs to take an hour!

    Your Boss: WHAT! Too long it should only take 2 minutes.

    Boss GF: Fine, I will find the developer you complain about. He takes the time needed to get the job done!

    @netikras Indeed. I always add 2 or 3 months, weeks, days, whatever to a product that needs to be made from scratch

    I was on a call with a bunch of c's and e's. They wanted to build this common service from scratch. After telling them we should probably just find one and use it they decided we should definitely build it.

    Ok. After some quick high level requirements gathering.

    How long would that take?

    10-12 months.

    WHAT?!

    Oh and that's if we hire a 5 dev team.

    WHAT?!

    I swear it was like I was talking to 7 lil Jon's.

    Yeah, I'm probably going to get canned for that call. I know I have been passed over for a promotion because of it. Whatever, I would rather be competent and with my integrity intact than be promoted up to their level of ignorance.

    Did he also tell how fast his nephew in high school could do it? Because that's would be totally in character for troglodyte boss.
