> Get the specification of work nailed down as thoroughly as you can, it’s mutually beneficial to you and your customers.

I hate specs.

You won't know how to solve a problem before you've already solved it, so your spec will be wrong.

My customers pay for my time. Together, through an iterative process involving myself, the designers and the customer, we find good technical solutions to the problems they need solved.

I can tell them “this solution is difficult” or “this solution is trivial”, and they can judge the cost-benefit ratios along the way.

You've paid for 300 hours of my time. Let's make the most of that.
