The song, the album, the project is almost done and the late complainer decides to speak up. Picking apart the whole thing. Listing all reasons why it isn’t good enough and doesn’t measure up to their (unspecified) standard.
Being a late complainer has it’s advantages…
The project is going to go out the door without all the complaints satisfied. And that’s the goal of the late complainer. Because it means that if the project fails, the late complainer gets to say those beloved words, ‘I told you so.’
On the other hand, doing all the criticism early on means you get to redefine what the project is going to be in plenty of time to satisfy the vision.
This is much scarier than being the late complainer because now you’ve built something that checks all your boxes…and now you’re going to see if the list of boxes you checked is going to work.
