    I don’t think he’s seen the absolute fucking drivel that most developers have been given as software specs before now.

    Most people don’t even know what they want, let alone be able to describe it. I’ve often been given a mountain of stuff, only to go back and forth with the customer to figure out what problem they’re actually trying to solve, and then do it in like 3 lines of code in a way that doesn’t break everything else, or tie a maintenance albatross around my neck for the next ten years.
