A comment on Ask HN: Developers – How did you learn to say NO?. Parent comment
- Other projects will be pushed out of the way
- Your deadline is not feasible, I can do it by this date.
- The cost/time of me doing something would be high, due to my inexperience in doing that task.
- I personally think it is a bad idea and a waste of everyone's time, but it's your call.
Things may work differently for others, but turning a "no" to a "yes, on my terms" is what has worked well in any situation I've been in.
