Requirements Memes

Programmers' job security in one perfect tweet! The cosmic irony here is that clients rarely know what they want until they see what they don't want. Even the most advanced AI would short-circuit trying to interpret "make it pop" or "needs to be more intuitive." The requirements document? Just a series of vague gestures and the phrase "you know what I mean." The robot revolution stops dead in its tracks when the client says "I'll know it when I see it." Job security through communication breakdown - the ultimate firewall!

Programmers' job security rests on the client's eternal inability to articulate what they actually need. "I want a button that does the thing" could mean anything from "change the background color" to "create sentient AI that predicts stock markets." The day clients learn to communicate requirements clearly is the day we should all update our resumes. Until then, the robots can't replace us if they can't understand the assignment.
