    What happens when the application becomes an endless cycle of changes as the user of the application is not decided on what you really need, because people who made the initial request or use cases to gather information, not did quite well?

      Bugs - lots of bugs. And demotivated developers.

      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

          It reminds this proverb. Become addicted to constant and never-ending self-improvement.

            At my last place:

            1. The original gimps that designed the system left. No loss.
            2. A senior dev was sucked in, he said the system was unworkable, no-one listened.
            3. I was sucked in as I was a "safe pair of hands to get the job done". I agreed with above's opinion.
            4. I left.
            5. The other senior dev left.
            6. Another senior dev was sucked in. He left.
            7. The .net Manager left.

            The .net team was peaked at about 15 members, it is now about 7, it wasn't the better devs they kept by-and-large..

              Hi Neogeos, Then programmer redundancies are superfluous as application and user converge on quantum states which are entangled as they approach unemployment. best, Bill

              "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

                    I don't have bugs. I also write the manual: if it is in the manual, it's a feature, not a bug. :-D

                          Given that what you describe is the norm, I'd rather know what happens when the opposite occurs. It'd be nice to see it happen -- just once, like.
