him: *explains feature*
Can you do that?
me: No.
him: Okay, you'll do that.

spoiler: I did it. This actually happened like 3 times with the same dude.

@Alice I was. I always underestimate when can be done.

Stole this from other rant

@Alice yes. It was awful and genius at the same time. But that's because it is always unpleasant to exceed beyond your limits- yet in the end you can be proud.

There's rarely a feature that "can't" be done, but there are many that shouldn't. Your job as a dev is to find out what problem stakeholders are attempting to solve and give them the solutions and associated costs.

But at the end of the day, you get paid for solving business problems - even dumb ones.

@bezorp agreed. Ofc I can add a full-hd gif animation preloader but... no :c

@necromancer Always anwer no when I think that's not something to tackle for a webdesign noob like me.

Imagine a noob learning their first css. Show them the netflix website and tell them to make a landing page like the netflix one - kinda like that
