Agreed. Which is why I don't pitch too many ideas anymore in my current role unless I've done some exploratory coding.

That has led to 2 different internal products and I'm presently working on something to replace a piece of commercial software that they paid almost $1 million for and doesn't work/has serious limitations. However I did it out of band because I found it interesting. I guess it comes down to put up or shut up.

Often when you come up with an idea, then go to try and do it you realise its 100x times harder than you thought
