"hey we really need to launch that project by 9am IST, can you please monitor the rollout and fix any issues that arise? Also please have a full report for the daily standup that morning here. CEO will be in the meeting. And no overtime, budget is tight."

"I guess I can't, then."

Underrated. It’s important to communicate that the parameters of the request cannot be satisfied as soon as possible. It might be a simple mistake from someone without a technical background who should instead be finding more resources first.

More mistakes happen when you're in a rush. That's the nature of the beast.

At least the deadline's not arbitrary.

If you don't consider this part of "writing code" then I don't want to run any of your code

As hard as it is and as much as I would like help, I am so happy to be the only Dev in my company capable of working on my projects and to have bosses who essentially give me carte blanch on how to code and deal with issues.
