You asked me to write code to do a thing. The code does that thing.
It seems you wanted it to do another thing, but you didn't ask for it. The code doesn't do that thing.
I can't imagine why.
I thought that was a requirement for a project scope!
We had a project for company who was doing research/ trying to get approved for a new, better, and safer piece of equipment for the military. Anyways, we rebuilt the controls, and included everything that we had discussed plus some stuff I thought would be handy for them. So far so good. So they start talking about this other thing, that they wanted it to do. I had to reply no, personal safety standards won't let me do that, however I could tell they where being a little sketchy in the description. So I ask, what are you trying to accomplish, perhaps we can figure out another way to do it, which doesn't involve safety violations. Turns out, they can't tell me this other thing, that they want me to make the machine do, but somehow I was suppose to make it do it.
