I cannot agree with you enough ☺️. Thanks a lot for illustrating it.
A reassuring sentence I repeat to my customers is,
"If we can define it, I can create it".
Thus, the burden of hard thinking is shared with the customer, and the expecations won't go wild.
Moreover, I really need to make small commits. Very small. As most of my coding experience is through a textual ssh screen, a unit of commit will usually span just a few file changes, done one by one πŸ˜‰, of course.
And, in the really dangerous field of service management, I constantly oppose changing more than one thing at a time. This, to be hands on when something breaks, and reduce the debt.
