I like helping out on weird little projects that keep my brain fed. One of our IT guys needs a little form that can auto inject some info from a small data store (Google sheets). There's a few caveats within his specs. All can be done with some js relatively easily.

But because I said it can be done he thinks it'll take 10mins and now suddenly he's putting pressure on me to do it, despite me also having an actual job to do! So frustrating!

    I recognize that behaviour. I haven't found any really good solution unfortunately. What I do is either stay clear of peoples pet projects or be very clear from the start that even if I offer an opinion about how to do it, I will not have time to actually implement. Much less help maintain forever.

    @Elkstorm yeah. This is a clear case of lessons being learned 👍
