    Don't you hate it when clients/users ask "Why does it takes so long?" I mean, what's complicated in the development of enterprise app? In fact, it's nothing rocket science. And tech business has been known for its simplicity!

        I am not quite sure if you are quoting the clients or asking it yourselves. I don't hate it at all. Its natural. Aren't we clients too to a lot of people outside of our work (sometimes within too)? Don't we wonder why does it take so long for the tailor, for the mechanic, for the painter etc? After all, nothing is rocket science apart from rocket science itself.

          It's not rocket science![^] I know this was referenced recently, but it is funny.

                      "Because you deserve the best. We give the quick botch-jobs to all our other customers." If that doesn't get a laugh, you really need to practice your delivery.

                        My favorite is this one I keep getting from a client, "Why can't I do it myself?". I've just started replying with the hard numbers on how much their change requests involve. It's only a 30 second change right? Just a 30 second change you'd have to do 4,000 times. Please, go ahead and do it, feel free to complain that I said it'd take two hours to safely do from our end to ensure we don't make a crater in your data somewhere.
