They don’t understand that most of the time isn’t going into typing code into the computer. It’s figuring out what the product guy and CEO actually want. It’s pulling answers out of them (eg: what do you want to do if the user’s name is null?) or dealing with it when they don’t like your decision (eg: you didn’t say what to do when I don’t have their name, so the email just says “hey”. I really don’t think this is a crisis)
