Product delivery is simple and complex, all at the same time. The issue is that we always want 3 dimensions of delivery. We want it: Quickly, Bug-free, All the “important” features. The problem is that you can only deliver on 2 of the 3 at the same time.
Every software engineer has that moment. You are assigned a feature requirement. It could be a Jira ticket or a sticky note. You first start brainstorming if this is possible, how you would achieve it, and how much time it might take. But before you start thinking through the technical implementation, you need to step back and ask "why"?
