Funny story about drag-and-drop:
At my very first job, we had a weekly meeting to assign tickets and estimates.
Our non-technical PM wrote "drag-and-drop" on a whiteboard, and then my name.
"Gavin, how long do you think this will take?"
"All week. At least. Maybe longer?"
PM laughed, then realized I wasn't making a joke.
"What do you mean 'all week'? That's ridiculous, do I need to give this to someone else?"
"Well, you could, but I wouldn't count on you getting it any sooner."
Appalled, he exclaims: "It's just drag-and-drop!"
After 10-15 minutes of a room full of engineers trying to explain the difficulty, he gave up with an unhappy "Fine."
The phrase "it's just drag-and-drop" became an inside joke for the rest of my time there...
