What do you define as "hand holding"?
Often project briefs are not very detailed but the client's expectations are very specific. So in the interest of not wasting a load of my time writing code that I'm just going to have to redo I will ask a lot of questions. Even ones that seem obvious, as sometimes my idea of a the best way to do something was not what the client had in mind.
- jmadsen 13y agoExactly - I've never heard the term "hand holding" that didn't go along with, "You should be able to figure it out - it's a FB clone, for God's sake" "Real" development companies have full-time people writing specs - you need to come up with something better than a few Google docs if you want the dev to just run with it, especially if (s)he's on a fixed contract. Hourly, now, is a different animal :-)
- pjungwir 13y agoI don't know about the OP, but I took the term from the first image in the post that says "hold their hand." I agree that helping the client put together a decent spec does not mean I need hand-holding. If anything, it puts me more on the right side of that image. :-)
