This is what comes to my mind when an inquiry client asks me "So, what is the *minimum viable product* we need in order to do X?" #payforitnoworpayforitlater https://t.co/we1JzSArUs

Pondering after a late-night inquiry call (and hundreds just like it before) -- if you try to look for technology answers for what are ultimately internal political power problems ... you're going to end up frustrated.
