The hardest part of building software is not coding, it's requirements

Just tell me when we replace upper "management" with AI. Then you will get me on board.

Worst part about being a programmer is meetings with non programmers about what they want you to program.

Client - "Hey can you make that pop and sizzle?"...

Also clients - "We are HIPAA compliant right?, I told that hospital we use amazon so we must be HIPAA compliant"

Also also clients - "Why can't we host our db on a different network and connect to it over the internet without a vpn?"

So these "managers" gonna use AI to replace my job? thats funny.
