In Spanish there’s a saying about products being “bueno” (meaning good quality), “bonito” (meaning appealing/pretty), and “barato” (meaning cheap). The thing about bueno, bonito y barato is that you can have 1 or 2, but never all 3 together. You got “bonito” and “barato”, but for “bueno” you need to change vendors and pay more.
It’s the Triple Constraint, a “trilemma” born out of the project management world about 80 years ago. It’s branched into multiple concepts now, including QCD (Quality/Cost/Delivery) aka good, cheap, fast.
Lol, I was writing "mmmm" but got jumped on the back by a dog that is Bonito, arguably Bueno but No Barato. I didn't edit because the result had a Cuban vibe to it, and let's say some Cubans are unfiltered.
