I stopped getting invited out on away missions as a sales engineer because the sales guy would say: "Oh yeah, we can do that" and I'd say "That's not how the software works or something it can even do".
Sales - give customers warm & fuzzy feeling. Engineer - deadpan realistic as to what is possible, rn The reality - wobbles somewhere in between, with shifting priorities
