As a programmer, I've learned to cringe at any suggestion from someone that starts with "can't you just". Cause I guarantee you, I can't "just" do that. It's way more complicated than just.
I've had the opposite happen too. They requested that some specific logic be applied to certain products. The logic that needed to be applied was actually very simple, the hard part was figuring out all of the conditions needed to identify which products to apply it to and test it to make sure the logic only got applied to the products they asked for.
All worked great everyone was happy with it. And then... "ok so would it be possible to apply that logic to all of the products, not just those ones?"
😬 I am familiar with the PTSD trigger words.
You little shit xD
