Bad thing is that it is a monster that we created (normally)...

Something I was taught very early on in my career was to never say "that will be easy", or "won't take any time at all", etc. Instead, I always told them that I would do some research and get back with them.

To this day I do the same thing - everyone always wants it yesterday and they think we can perform miracles. One of my boss' favorite things to say that I use quite often is "it takes 9 months to birth a baby no matter how many people are involved".

Same people who've never touched the application are the first in line to condemn your code, development platform and first born ! What ever happened to the day when programming staff was considered a valued commodity for an organization ? I'm here to help not make things worse.... It's just a Point & Click, ya right !
