  • If you didn't fucking ask for it, you can go fuck yourself.

    • Hey! that's the same rule I use!

      "Why doesn't this app do feature X?"
      "Because [Feature X] was not listed in the Requirements document."
      "Can we get [X]?"
      "Sure... but not for free."
      "But we want [X], and we already paid you."
      "You paid for features A, B, C, and D that you listed in the Requirements Spec."
