This is often the advice given by senior folks and I think it is somewhat similar to say that you have to "lie a bit on your CV". Still, I always wonder what would I do if I make these big promises to clients/bosses/management and I fail to deliver. Wouldn't that be worse than having said "no, I won't be able to make it in time" from the beginning?
For context, I'm early in my career (3 YOE) and I don't deal with management that much yet (I'm still shielded by my tech lead and PM), so I'm always looking for advice on how to navigate these things. I really can't just say "YES, YES, YES" when I know *very well* that something won't be possible.
Currently working on my own education by learning C from Antirez's C course on YouTube.
I've been working as an ERP developer for a couple years now and the job is so dull and boring that I'm already starting to feel stagnant. So, I am learning more advanced things now in order to: 1. Advance my career, and 2. Maybe code some linux tool (for personal use only, for now!) and stop looking at enterprise code.
As a migraine sufferer this sounds scary and only today I have learned about it. What was it like? If I may ask. Is there a way to prevent it? I googled it and it seems to appear rather arbitrarily and suddenly.
To be honest, you don't even need AI for something like that. You might just write a script to automate that kind of thing which is no more than a scrape-and-notify logic.

Maybe it is just a sign of being too junior?
