> Please state the fact: programmers are not trained, nor have the time to go far enough asking the questions. Speak for yourself, bub. I ask questions all the time when I write software. Usually, when I write software for someone other than myself, I have these things called "functional specifications", which is how I know if the thing I wrote does what the person I wrote it for expects. Sometimes those are in a big, boring document that some corporate department insisted we write in advance, other times they're in the form of "user stories", depending on how the people I write software for like to do their planning. But either way, I ask questions and try to figure out what they want, and I do it because I'm the skilled person who has to try to do that. And asking those kinds of questions is part of the job, unless you're making something for yourself or if you have no customers. And if you want to talk, maybe you shouldn't insult all programmers everywhere by suggesting they share your lack of skill when it comes to talking to people. |
