My manager asked if we could ship today.
Tinanong ako ng manager ko kung puwede na naming i-ship ngayon.
I felt nervous, but I knew it wasn't ready.
Kinakabahan ako, pero alam kong hindi pa ito handa.
I said, 'I am not comfortable shipping yet.'
Sinabi ko, 'Hindi pa ako komportable na i-ship ito.'
I explained why. The risk to the user was big.
Ipinaliwanag ko kung bakit. Malaki ang panganib sa user.
The new feature had a bug we just found.
May bug 'yung bagong feature na kakahanap lang namin.
It could crash for some customers.
Puwede itong mag-crash para sa ilang customer.
I asked, 'Could we hold one more day?'
Tinanong ko, 'Puwede bang humawak pa ng isang araw?'
My manager listened. She agreed to wait.
Nakinig ang manager ko. Pumayag siyang maghintay.
I felt relieved. I was honest and respectful.
Nakaramdam ako ng ginhawa. Naging tapat ako at magalang.
The next day, we fixed the bug and shipped.
Kinabukasan, inayos namin ang bug at nag-ship kami.
The launch went smoothly. No issues.
Maayos ang launch. Walang problema.
I learned that saying no early is okay.
Natutunan ko na okay lang tumanggi nang maaga.
