Conversation with Boss about a new project.

[Me]: We have to program an API and preferably our own backend, so that all the wishes of the customer are covered. In addition, there will also be an app later, as the customer has requested

[Boss]: Why should we program everything from scratch?

[Me]: We do not have to program everything from scratch, we can already use some existing stuff, or even use frameworks etc. But the project is so complex that such a path must be taken.

[Boss]: Hmm, ok.

... some time later ...
boss comes to me.

[Boss]: (shines and is very happy) I have the perfect solution! We simply use Shopware and finish the project as soon as possible.

Are you fucking kidding me? I’ve never worked with Shopware, and the Backend looks like fucking Windows 98. He’s not even a Dev! So how can he judge it that way?
he does that every fucking time!!

    Easy as pie. Give him a time estimate on all the docs reading (if there’s one) and trial&error it would take to make basic stuff and a counter estimate on full programming time with familiar tools... Welcome to the club btw. :)

    @godot I gave him an estimate of about 500 hours for the project, but not all features are 100 percent fully programmed because they should be discussed incrementally with the client (without counting all the details of this project here, it counts to the larger projects).

    I have not included the time for Shopware.

    His answer: too long 😂

    And thank you for the welcome 😊

    Wow! Just wow! 12weeks is too long for one dev to work on all these (and not yet discussed) features? Oh man how much I would laugh at his vapid mossface if I was there!
