As a programmer, what wonderful requirements have you received from Party A?

Programmers, as the most direct implementers of functional requirements, especially the old programmers who have been in the workplace for many years, will encounter some incomprehensible abnormal requirements. As senior programmers fighting in the front line, they have also encountered many abnormal requirements. Because there are too many, I will simply list a few.

1. I once made an Android application. Because of the fierce competition, the product manager once asked me if I could open a service in the background to monitor whether other applications have been running. It is possible to jump my application to the top at a special time, and then I ask if it is ethical to do so. I decided to do it, but I have to add a switch and control it through the background server. If you want to do something bad, you must do it in secret. After being discovered, you can turn it off secretly without leaving any evidence. It has finally come true. Because of this incident, it was later banned in the Google market for half a month. Programmers sincerely don't want to do such a thing, but they still have to support their families.

2. I once met a project manager who often said that all good things were revised. Every time I do a project, there is a gap of 108 thousand miles from the initial demand to the final delivery, because a word from the customer will overturn all the previous ones. For the project manager, it may be a word, and for the programmer brothers, it is a huge disaster. Programmers regard the realization of requirements as their own job, and don't have much time to break away from convention and obtain them on a large scale. As a result, small problems keep appearing. Finally, the programmer vomited blood and had a bad reputation. Finally, he was forced to leave his job. He met many brothers who are similar to programmers. Many domestic projects are similar, and they were changed without planning. There is no principle at all.

3. I remember that a brother in the technical department just joined the job, mainly supported by the underlying framework of the game. He often sees three or four product managers around him, mentioning this demand and that demand. This brother has to go to work for an hour and a half every day, and almost always leaves after ten o'clock every day. After about two months, he called the police and could not resign. He doesn't need very abnormal requirements, he just needs enough requirements to crush a programmer.

At present, domestic Internet companies modify overtime requirements very frequently. Many people think that the Internet in China is developing rapidly, and personally, it is basically overtime. Of course, overtime is not only for programmers, but also for product managers, but that's how good products come out.

I hope I can help you.
