"I'll not sign off this project unless you promise me that the app will NOT GET WET WHEN YOU UPLOAD IT TO THE CLOUD" (was a desk application... I left the company that same day and promised myself I'll never get back)

Wow! Face palm

- So we need two additional months to deliver an umbrella web service to prevent it gets wet

See, @cesc1989 understands how to take advantage of people's stupidity

In the 5G situation, I had to break it down into very simple terms and relate it to something they understood. I used analogies that made sense to them, like comparing network upgrades to getting a faster car engine rather than a new type of fuel. It took time, but eventually, they started to get the gist of it. In general, patience and persistence were key. For anyone struggling with similar issues, I highly recommend finding resources that can help bridge the knowledge gap. For example, sharing a comprehensive guide on relevant topics can be incredibly useful. If you’re dealing with cloud-related misunderstandings, a good place to start might be the cloud application development guide https://jetbase.io/blog/... It's detailed and can help clarify a lot of common misconceptions. Educating through reliable resources can make a big difference and gradually improve the tech literacy of your team.
