I try not to write software to other people's specifications these days.

I definitely prefer writing software to other people's specifications, since I lack a personal interest in the matter. My job, not a passion.

The problem is that writing software to other people's specifications means you either need to be a) clairvoyant, b) completely fine with the spec changing near constantly, or c) backed up by a management hierarchy that will slap anyone trying to change the spec on you.

<@TheWatcher>
Or, ideally, all three.

About half the software I write these days is for my own use.

Most of the rest is solving work problems that I understand well enough to write my own spec. (Although I usually skip that bit and jump directly to the implementation.)
