What the fuck, is that a rage comic in the grimdark future of 2025?
I want more
You don’t need to know what they consider active, just give them a toggle so they can decide.
This so much. If you can’t articulate it I’m going to make sure it stays your problem, not mine.
And what does it toggle?
The “active” status.
Any project with it set is active, any project with it not set isn’t. And you set them all to active when you create the toggle.
If the users complain, you make them tell you an specific rule that can you can use to auto-change a subset of the projects in a cron job. Expecting anything like this to have a complete objective definition is delusional.
I’m surprised I’m the first comment saying this, but all I see is a user who needs help expressing their needs but who is not getting that help. Sure they don’t have our experience with decomposing problems and anticipating technical issues, but that’s normal and expected.
People bitch about the existence of Project Managers (I have myself) but then you see shit like this. Breaks in communication and one side needing the ability to express to the other. Some devs can bridge it, some can’t.
All I see is 5 minutes of the protagonist not listening (yadda yadda) to expressed needs, then getting upset at the word active being used again.
This is why “sure” or “yes” are not part of my IT vocabulary. “Should” is king. “We should be be able to do” or “that should work.”
In the idiocy of stakeholders that want IT to be a magic wand to fix their ineptitude instead of a helpful contributor to their well thought out process, you have to coach everything in the polite “no” that is “maybe” or “should.”
