Wow this thread is surprisingly helpful for understanding just what is so taxing about a current project. It's never difficult. It's never repetitive. It's an endless series of poorly specified requirements that only get clarified after implementation, and I don't have access to the right stakeholders to do anything about it.

Yes, this getting clarifications one drop at a time, or being unable to clarify things before doing them.

The KILLER extra topping for me is when you lack any kind of quick-iterative-feedback-loop too. Eg. maybe it's cloud infra done in a braindead way and any way to debug is to do a tens-of-minute-length rerun/redeploy etc.

I'm OK working incrementaly, and even with incremental ambiguity, but I need a FAST feedback loop to iterate.
