WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THIS WILL NEVER WORK.

THIS ISN'T A PROTOTYPE. THIS IS THE FINISHED SOFTWARE, AND IT'S WORKING.

I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN GET THIS DONE IN TIME.

IT'S ALREADY DONE. YOU ARE LITERALLY USING IT WHILE WE ARE TALKING.

WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PROGRAM THIS.

IT'S ALREADY DONE!

YOU. ARE. USING.

IT. RIGHT. NOW!

YOU'D BETTER SETTLE DOWN, OR YOULL NEVER GET THIS FINISHED.

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "It's Already Done"

Summary:

The comic strip, created by Scott Adams, features Dilbert and his coworker discussing a project. The coworker confidently claims that the project is already complete, despite it being a prototype. Dilbert expresses skepticism, pointing out that it is not a finished software and is still in the prototype phase. The coworker becomes defensive, insisting that it is already done and that Dilbert should stop questioning its completion. The conversation escalates, with Dilbert highlighting the lack of resources allocated to the project and the coworker's refusal to acknowledge the project's unfinished state. The comic strip satirizes the common phenomenon of software projects being prematurely declared complete, often due to a lack of understanding or resources.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
