And that software purchasers demand changes. I would imagine we are not far from an AI being able to take over pure Waterfall development methodology. But successful businesses aren't static, nor are their software needs. Once the AI decides on a data layer and you ask it to iterate on the code that interacts with it to meet new use cases and add features, god help you.

The hardest part is not implementing the specifications as described (maybe AI will do this soon, doubt). The hardest part is taking various competing requests in plain English (often in their second language) from non-technical people, having an interactive conversation to tease out actual needs, and converting that into a specification (if even only in your head) to then implement. When we have an AI that can understand French Quants, let me know.
