In my experience, the dev who can say no hears “can this be done?” and unlike the rest of us, they are able to ignore the default brain response of "well, yeah, technically " meaning they have to lie.
I wouldn’t lie. But if doable. I’ll just work hard on achieving, even if not within my experience. But I see programmers who say “I can’t do this. Too complicated” . I worked freelance for long so I’m used to say yes.

I have two names for programmers that can say no.
