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

Just tell me when we replace upper &quot;management&quot; with AI. Then you will get me on board.<p>Worst part about being a programmer is meetings with non programmers about what they want you to program.<p>Client - &quot;Hey can you make that pop and sizzle?&quot;...<p>Also clients - &quot;We are HIPAA compliant right?, I told that hospital we use amazon so we must be HIPAA compliant&quot;<p>Also also clients - &quot;Why can&#x27;t we host our db on a different network and connect to it over the internet without a vpn?&quot;<p>So these &quot;managers&quot; gonna use AI to replace my job? thats funny.
