Most people cannot begin to comprehend that just having the field on the form doesn’t magically make it do anything. Like, yeah, I can add a field to the form in five minutes, but if you want it to actually work, it’ll take time.

Design mock ups are the bane of my existence.

What do you mean it’ll take 6 months…you have almost all the work done in your demo.

I made some buttons that navigate between pages that have laid out controls on them. Other than those specific navigations…nothing works.

Dotcom days, my company charged a venue $30k for an "emergency change" to disable a form and all links to it.

The dev already had a system switch for it. $30k, 10-second change.
