There’s a lot of folks in here shouting “don’t develop until people ask for it!”

But there is a certain joy that comes when people ask “but what about XYZ” and you can respond “Yup, we thought of that!”

Granted, I work mostly on developer facing tools and services, which makes it much easier to anticipate the needs of my customer since I too am a developer.

And even with that caveat it’s not always a slam dunk... but it certainly is possible to anticipate requirements in a useful way.
