Since you're writing code so much, do you actually do any planning at all?

Of course I do. When I'm going home, during lunch, supper, on my way to church, after church ....

Plenty of time for planning.

Not with Mary. Let's just say sentiments are not a part of her.

Since it was your thread in the first place you can't hijack it so it's all r0's fault. I'm totally innocent of course.

We were discussing programmers nicely until you came along and thought we were discussing programmed instead.

as well as determining those requirements with the customer (NOT an easy thing to do - working with both the customers and the programmers to find the balance between feature and feasability)

This is the part I dislike. I've noticed customers don't seem to do their research on what they really need/want.

This is the part I dislike. I've noticed customers don't seem to do their research on what they really need/want.

And a lot of the time their wants aren't practical with their needs. This is why I dislike sales people, and why I have come to like (and hate sometimes), requirements documents.

[DeMan]

Now that this thread is (vaguely) back on track...

Far better idea to tell the customer what they need rather than asking what they want...
Clients want everything you offer, so never offer anything.....le t them explain what they are after and dictate their needs to them, allowing them to add requirements, but not offering anything more. (without adding "if we've got time we could add beels and whistles, some dancing lights and flashing bares (or was that dancing bears and flashing lights?)"

Before the task was completed, you were making a program so were a programmer.

I would assert that a Coding is a subset of Programming, and Programming is a subset of Software Engineering.
