PM wrote a really high-level requirement doc and asked me about estimates.

Me: Well, functionality-wise it will take 4-5 days provided the design is ready.

PM: Our designers are really full on schedule; Just do it! Expand your creativity. I believe in your taste of UX

Me: Listen, the implemented design will take much more time to change if we go back and forth. It's better to revise on the designer's screen.

PM: Oh don't be so modest! I trust you already. Just focus on the functionality, get it done first. For the design we'll talk about it later. Move fast and break things!

Me: ..Sigh. This is gonna end up badly.

    Move fast & break things...I like this this as long as I don't have to be responsible for a schedule 😂

    Get all that stuff the PM said in writing. This will end bad and fingers will be pointed.

    Move fast and break things is good advice. Fail quickly on the things that aren't going to work. Good luck!

    managers don't know difference between HL design and technical design and estimation can change.
