- marcosdumay 9mo agoOh, that's easy. Can you point any real person waiting to use the thing? In fact, that's probably the easiest question to answer on this entire discussion.
- kube-system 9mo agoAgain, by communicating. If someone doesn't know what they are building, who they are building it for, and why -- then they do not have a solid grasp of the requirements.
- lolive 9mo agoNever saw a subcontracting requirement document, stating "the solution is for a bozo-project. so don't spend ages making it robust for the future"
- kube-system 9mo agoEffectively communicating as an engineer is not “reading a requirements document”. If you’re just blindly implementing someone else tech spec, you’re not doing any engineering, you’re just programming.
