The reminds me the other month i volunteered for a group that wanted a custom app built. We went through the requirements, i build it, i demo it, and they ask why it's doing XYZ. I tell them the was what they wanted. Turns out they actually wanted some completely different logic that was a near total re-write. If i had just been contracting i would've had this kind of stuff built into the pricing/ conditions but for volunteer work it kind of sucked to waste hours on functionality i had to competely redo. And looking back it wasn't like i didn't ask the right questions.
Just can't solve orgs having poor communication
The thing is in November I had a meeting, went over the spec again and demoed everything. Explained what was to implement still and showed a mock up.
Then they changed rules and never told me!
I'm getting paid a nominal amount (15 k aud) but with these last changes I literally just got off the phone from my god I'm earning it.
I quit programming because it makes me a nasty and stressed out person. This just reaffirms why.
