> You're trying to solve a $5M problem for $1M, so you're going to push people to make poor choices that don't actually address your problem

...you push people to only solve the actual problem.

This is a very strange take to enshrine as advice. If you try to solve a 50$ problem for $5k you're out ~$5k and the next project will cost $7k



The issue with people setting deadline is that they can rarely tell the difference between a $50 job and a $5k job.

If they were good, they would work on improving the flow, not pulling random numbers from their hat.


I would say that it's practically a worse situation. They aren't just ignorant, but willfully so because of a lack of measurable consequences for most. Even worse when there is market capture.
