When I was young and didn’t know better I was hired to make a small website for a pet company. What started as a simple broucher about their business morphed through multiple revisions into a completely custom CMS monster that had integration with their inventory system so the website always had the up to date items they carried and prices.
I had to put my foot down in the end. They were happy, everything looked and worked great, but they wanted one more thing to top it off. An animation of dogs running down through a a grassy field playing with each other around the logo. I was like, you mean hand drawn like in a Disney movie?
This is just beautiful! I’m most definitely sharing this with my Co dev tomorrow. He is going to love the level of scope creep (he is well known for dropping us right in it and leaving them get away with things never discussed or agreed before hand) and the dogs and logo is chefs kiss!
I’m perplexed daily by what planet some people are living on. Just when you think you have witnessed it all, seen every crazy request in the book a client drops one pit of the blue that leaves you with a feeling of “how the fuck do I respond to this without insinuating their a total and utter moron”.

‘Easy! Just use AI or something. You nerds figure it out!’
