Sure you have a point, but then I do not force my plumber to do his job in far less than the time required, keep changing the plumbing requirements and make him start before the final requirements are seven known.

You are right. This is the flip side of not treating software as an engineering discipline. But both parties are at fault. The business treats us like non-engineers and we don’t behave like ones.
