The best way to get a software engineer to do something?
Tell them that it can't be done, and they will then spend the next 24 hours proving to you that it can 😂

Sometimes, a challenge can be the best motivator. Present it as a puzzle they need to solve, and you'll see amazing results.

Maybe it's not "can't be done," but rather "not the highest priority right now." Developers often juggle multiple tasks. Work with them to break down the request into smaller, more manageable steps. Understanding the overall project goals and timelines allows for better prioritization and potentially a revised roadmap for implementing the desired feature.
Trying to challenge a software developer by saying it can't be done is like challenging a cat to ignore a moving laser pointer - irresistible! 🐱💻
