a client today wanted a specialized high performance, extremely stable, stock management software for pharmaceutical products, he also wants the software distributed, cross platform, and expect the delivery to be in a week or so, oh and did i mention that he also wants it to have an extremely good looking ui,
he got offended that i said you can only have one or two of those things not all of them,
for context, I'm just a freelancer not a big company and doing what he wants is impossible for me, also it was a billion ages since i worked on anything desktop related, web is all I'm diving into lately

    "But it is just writing text in a document! How can it be so hard? Some of you don't even have a degree!" Ugh.

    Ask them for a seven digit price, hire a team and do it.

    @kamen i don't even have a clue how to manage a team, let alone manage a complicated software, and a large scale business at the same time, no amount of money can make me do this successfully

    Build an mvp with them. 'OK, a project of that size will take anyone a long time to make. Let's start with something for your basic needs first and move from there.'

    Ask for lots of moneys, hire a team, do a web app and webview apps.

    Put it on something like Google cloud apps or redhat open shift.

    That covers "distributed" and "Cross platform".
    Hire an awesome UI designer that can code with the lots of moneys you asked.

    I honestly think that person is just bullshitting you saying big words from the early 2000's and does not even know what they mean.
