I think I do my best work when it's something no one asked for in the first place. I also do great work when I have a good back-and-forth to clarify requirements until I know exactly what we're going for. Where I get discouraged is when I get half-baked requirements, carefully consider the problem and provide a best effort solution, then get clarification that would have been great to know up front, now requiring a re-think.
