        Love it when people that know a lot about communicating get tasked with creating a positive perception of something. They know perfectly well that self-deprecating jokes are popular with their target audience and that they even work to endear their shortcomings to the reader. These feelings are probably why this post is being upvoted.

        I mean yeah, I agree with separation of concerns and letting the people with the skills do the job… but it almost always feels so manipulative and dishonest.

          As a dev myself, I can’t even commit to maybe telling you if and/or when something will be finished. Someone has to set a date and say it’s going to be awesome even though I wouldn’t even say it’s for sure going to be working.

            As a dev that’s a skill you can develop. But it doesn’t matter when the marketing department announces a launch date before even asking developers for their estimations.

                Enough of that shit and the only date it sets is “the date I leave this fucking company”. I’m so tired of people thinking they can make magic happen by talking down to developers. So tired
