How dare I polish and remove kludges from previous releases. 😆

Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn’t let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.

So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?

Imagine you’re the chef at a restaurant and the guest tells you they want the fluffiest pancace possible, positioned vertically on the plate. In fact, they want three of them, stacked on each others’ rims. And vegan with extra eggs.

And when you finally serve that aneurysm of a dish, they tell you that in their dialect, ‘pancake’ actually means ‘lasagna’.

Hopefully the pancake/lasagna garbage could be caught by sharing some wireframes early on?

(Is this unrealistic?)
