Why does anyone expect a specific answer to a non-specific question?
The more you can learn to help the client work through ambiguity, rather than expect the client to match your technical understanding and then be frustrated when they don't, the more successful you will be.
- beat 13y agoUltimately, software is about getting specific answers to non-specific questions.
- ptaipale 13y agoAbsolutely, but that's more than just coding.
- robmclarty 13y agoGranted, that goes with the territory of being in the service business. My gripe is that clients expect to pay for "just the coding" rather than the entire process of discovery, consultation, and strategy + coding.
- marknow 13y ago"The more you can learn to help the client work through ambiguity..." This assistance implies expertise beyond just being a code monkey; higher-level thinking and problem-solving should definitely come at a higher price.
