Simple Cube vs. Sci-Fi Concept Art

The perfect visualization of how product managers describe features vs. how engineers implement them. Left: "Just a simple cube, how hard could it be?" Right: The same damn cube with one unnecessary line that took 8 meetings, 3 design revisions, and somehow doubled the development timeline. The sci-fi concept art is just corporate speak for "we added a groove that serves no purpose but looks techy." This is why I drink coffee by the gallon.
