This feature will require a day of CS time each year, as they answer customers.
This feature will make any rebuild of our product take 6+ weeks extra.
The one-time investment for your team to build it is dwarfed by the long-term costs of your feature.

When teams estimate work for a product, there's a HUGE GIGANTIC ERROR that they almost always make.
What's that error? They only count the cost of building a feature. "This feature will take 4 engineer weeks to build."
That's just the beginning of the cost.

Turns out baby timings are kinda random and whatnot but we’ve made it to the “at hospital but still in triage” portion of birth. My role this far is being a snack gofer. Mom and baby so far doing well.

@_LucasRizzotto @Meta Marketplace, which some have mentioned, was not designed or built internally. I led the creation at Oodle when we partnered with them.

Genuinely curious: has @Meta ever built & launched a successful mass consumer product in-house besides Facebook?
Or were all their successes in the past 15 years acquisitions?

@AerLingus Yea, please! I need status on a missing bag. The tracing code is ORDEI22814 and the bag tag is EI976731. The bag seems to have been scheduled to go from DUB to ORD on the 18th. I’m in SFO (that was my final destination). Can you help me with status?
