learn how things should be made and don't bother devs unless it's totally necessary or ignore that stuff and assume the dev times are what they need to be.

In our case it's been the later, but we've had to put limit, protocols and define the process because they started getting out of control... And were wasting a lot of our time

but I can't do that on my main job and even less in my position (Tech Lead) so I need to balance business needs, developers needs, client needs and a large bunch of other stuff and find the middle point

Yup me too, I'm in a similar position and can relate too well xD

It's part of the job I guess, it sometimes bothers me a bit but I can't do much about it xD

Well if you understand the business PoV it's just a matter of explaining the concepts and let the client take the decision (either be wrong or right). It's not your business at the end...

That's OK unless you loose workforce cause this, then your bosses will need to take the decision on whether enforcing a way to work with clients or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yup that would make sense, the thing is and I've discussed this internally before with colleagues and my boss, that the company is not mine, but our boss doesn't like to get involved that much, so in most cases it's up to us to handle these kinds of things... which is not correct at all, but we have to do it. I tend to not get involved meanwhile it does not affect me or my team, but if it does I have no choice but to intervene...

I've been reconsidering looking for another job at times, but I have good benefits I won't have in other companies so it's a tough choice... But yeah, in most cases it would not be my job to do this kinds of things...

There's management to deal with that situations. A role in the middle like us (between development and management) should transfer information and concerns as well as the solution to them (previously analysed) but nothing else for our sanity's sake 😂
