Re:Snippet on blaming the developers (Score 1)

My comment to the author of this article was _not_ to blame, but to show that every party to software development ends up with unflattering characterizations of each other.

He didn't print the ones of non-developers I metnioned, but we're reading some of those right here.

To say that developers 'don't get it' often with requirements is not asinine -- it's obvious. Some times the reason is because those requirements don't make any sense. Sometimes they are too vague...

Sometimes I don't get what my wife says... That doesn't make me stupid, but given that fact, we both owe each other the time and effort to establish understanding.

So it's not about blame; it's about the responsibility on everyone's part to resolve misunderstandings before they become "bugs" in software. That is a core message of our company and its product, LISA.

I don't think we disagree.
