Drive Faster Project Manager
When Sales promises the client features that would require rewriting the laws of physics, and both developers are just sitting there watching the train wreck unfold in real-time. The Senior knows exactly how screwed they are but has seen this movie before. The Junior is still processing the audacity. Meanwhile, Sales is out there swinging wildly, completely oblivious to the technical debt tsunami they just unleashed. The best part? That client absolutely thinks it's cool and doable because Sales made it sound like a weekend project. Spoiler alert: it's not. It never is.

Estimates Are Pointless
The eternal dance of project estimation: Sales promises it tomorrow because they're closing deals, PM negotiates up to 1 week because they're "being realistic," Tech lead knows it's actually 1 month because they've seen this rodeo before... and then there's the dev team, chilling at the bottom of the ocean with a 2-month estimate because they're the ones who actually have to build the damn thing. Sales is always playing fast and loose with reality, PM is trying to keep everyone happy, and the poor tech lead is drowning somewhere in between optimism and truth. Meanwhile, the dev team has already calculated the time for: requirements changing 47 times, mystery bugs, that one dependency that breaks everything, code reviews, meetings about meetings, and oh yeah—actually writing code. Spoiler alert: The dev team's estimate is probably still too optimistic. Add another month for production issues.
