Raise your hand if you've ever been in that meeting:
Client/PM: "We need AI here."
You: "Sure! What problem are we solving?"
Them: "Just... make it smarter. You know, with the magic algorithms."
(...awkward silence...)
Classic variations we've heard:
- "Like those smart chatbots, but for [something completely unrelated]"
- "It should auto-fix all bugs (and document itself too)"
- "We have no training data, but can't it just 'figure itself out'?"
- "Make it learn from production... but with zero errors"
If you've had that moment when technical reality met ambitious expectations, share your story below. Developers unite! 🫠
P.S. Legendary status for requests with:
- "Small" budgets that wouldn't cover coffee for the team
- "Flexible" timelines meaning "yesterday"
- "Simple" changes requiring complete system rewrites
