I surprised someone again yesterday by saying that I legitimately don’t think technical issues are the hard part of shipping projects.
I find the constraints are almost always about how to navigate conflicting points of view, deadlines, organization, planning, and budgets. People, planning, and money are the hardest topics. The technical parts seem far less difficult -sometimes even trivial- in comparison.
@yosh Yep, almost all projects are implementing solutions to solved problems. Shipping is purely an exercise in overcoming the overwhelming weight of bureaucracy
