Reminds me of companies getting their cloud computing bills.
"We need cloud computing!!!!"
5 minutes later: "Ok a monolith is good enough"
Both of those statements hurt my soul, damn, why do you have to do that to me. On a Friday no less
It's friday and your boss wants to move everything over to a blockchain. He says it will only take an hour tops.
