PO: suggests a new feature to be implemented

My dev colleague almost always responds no matter what the feature is: 'it's simple to do'

Me: 'Dying inside'

We have a standard response: ’No’.

I have a problem with this as well. Everything seems easy until I'm doing it and then I'm realize it's easy, but fucking big

Maybe that colleague expected that

"It's simple, but it takes time."

It's just so irritating that he has to say that for almost everything. It gives a wrong image about it, because often it's easy to see the things aren't simple. And you gain nothing by saying that too easy. It just sets you up for a big failure when reality starts hitting

Your colleague can do it then if it's so simple

Let him do it then!

Upvotes all comments. Most relatable thing ever. And then the disapointed face when it's not delivered on time from the po, the stressful ask for help of that dev and the destroyed sprint 🙄 Next sprint: let's do it again 🙄 Sigh.

When you say no and they'll find someone who says yes.. Fuck you!
