This week, we are working on the Functional Specification for our current (8-headed hydra of a) project. Today, I am writing the overview for this 300-page behemoth. It will not, unfortunately, read as follows:<\/p>\n
This document will:<\/p>\n
\u2022 confuse the everliving shit out of you<\/p>\n
\u2022 tell you nothing you didn’t already know<\/p>\n
\u2022 confuse what you thought you already knew<\/p>\n
This document will not<\/i>:<\/p>\n
\u2022 provide you with any sort of clear picture of what you’ll get at the conclusion of the project<\/p>\n
\u2022 shed light on any of your previously submitted questions<\/p>\n
\u2022 be followed by us, either, unless it’s convenient<\/p>\n
The purpose of the control tables is to confuse you and confound our development team. The purpose of the wireframes is to make you squint. The purpose of the pitiful little explanation sections is to make you keep reading in hopes that some portion of this enormous document will turn out to be in english.<\/p>\n
