“Walk-away first. Then we trade.”
Summary
Desmond writes down the walk-away line before anything else, then finds the trade both sides want. As an associate, Desmond is the dependable core of the team: one job at a time, done properly. Best at terms, prices and vendor talks. Ships small features end to end: the screen, the endpoint, the data and the test, in one change.
Give Desmond a job like this: “Desmond, add a 'save for later' feature to a small web app: the table, the endpoint, the button and a passing test.”
