This. 100x this.

If ONLY our boss would understand how CRITICALLY IMPORTANT it is to 
agree on EXACTLY what we're supposed to be delivering BEFORE we promise 
to deliver it in exactly X weeks...

Or, for that matter, if he would ASK somebody how long it will take 
BEFORE he promises the customer how long it will take?

On a similar subject, why is it that when we tell him "it will take 6 
months", he thinks we're just "exaggerating" or "being negative" or 
whatever? Hey genuis, which one of us is a qualified software developer? 
Which one of us develops software ALL FREAKING DAY, EVERY SINGLE 
WEEKDAY, AND HAS DONE FOR YEARS? So which one of us is qualified to 
prognosticate on how long it will take? Right, so WHY ARE YOU IGNORING US??

Oh yes, that's right. Because you go to the school of thought that if 
you just WISH for something, REALLY REALLY HARD, that makes it happen. 
Because, you know, the laws of physics don't apply to wishes...

No, I'm not bitter. Why do you ask that?
