As I said, intentionally vague. The diagrams would be giving away our
Secret Sauce.
Clearly the first task in a situation like that is
to build those diagrams and to highlight the areas of
greatest ambiguity and risk. One then begins the job of
reducing the ambiguity and risk. I doubt that you just
started coding.
No, I did all that. But lots of stuff came up that the diagrams didn't
account for.
Yep. In fact what I would say is that your customer has
outsourced to you a large and difficult problem. Do you
object to that?
That's what I'm for. ;-)
> BTW, does the customer have any programming
capability in house? Just curious. They sound like a hedge
fund or brokerage firm with a bunch of German quants.
No, I'm Chief (and only) Engineer of the company. We're three people and
a fourth who is a part-time consultant. My employers are my customer.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
