> My diagnosis is that you care too much. The enterprise IT space is kabuki theatre. This was my first reaction as well. But it's relatable. I've held myself to similar expectations and caused a lot of stress in the past. You think the customer is thinking you'll be done in six months? Only if they've never bought enterprise software before. Their expectations are dramatically lower than what you might be holding yourself to. In fact, the expectations may even be lower than what is in the contract. Even if you moved heaven and earth and shipped an API tomorrow, they likely aren't going to be able to start integrating it right away. That requires work on their end that needs to be planned into a quarter etc...
