Until you find out the last task depends on the first being completed, and you have to re-design everything.

It LOOKS like you own a house and have several kids and are now spending a inordinate amount of time wondering what could have been.

Many pixels I see not. Lost to the void they have been.

I’m going to start posting this to the wiki pages of all new projects....

Know that feel tho.

you have to prioritize essential functions over convenient functions.

This is exactly why I never get anything done.

Every day of my fatherly life, and every program I write. Does the loop ever close? Some say so. Me... I'm not so sure.

Classic one bug fix that causes other bugs to be discovered. Classic

When you are trying to do the main quest, but also want 100% completion of the game.

Things are a lot easier if you finish a job before jumping to the next one.
NOINOON
Or better yet. Change the damn bulb, let Someone Else put the shelf on the honey do-list, and have a beer instead.
IamNotFunnyNeitherIsMyUserName
Stop starting and start finishing.

Have you finished that feature yet? Uhhhhhmmmm...

Just gonna refactor this class first... and every class that uses it.. and uh..

Reading a software blog yesterday, I learned the technical term for this. It’s called Yak Shaving and it’s very real :)
Idrinkforevil
I love to putter.
edestlin
Shaving a yak.
RichCorinthian
I’ve had to explain this and “bike shedding” to a bunch of junior devs. They’re like “oh so everybody does that?”

What in the world are you two going on about? Yaks? Bicycles?

Well 1 out of 2 ain't bad. But yeah it is, women tend to be a little more coherent when on a fixing streak while we just drop it for another
ExtraExtraExtraUpvote
In the hopes we'll manage to fix it and go back to the other problem later. I've gone to change a bulb in my bathroom and ended up

Wallpapering the bedroom the other side of the house because I want on what is aptly called a fetch quest for things I noticed were faulty

The dreaded scope creep....
SkyreachX
Scope creep would be if Lois theb asked Hal to then clean the stove, or take out the garbage. This is pure Yak shaving.
bantambasher135
I've heard it as feature creep.
TwoFlower68
That's when the specs get more complex. The dreaded management saying "wouldn't it be cool if you could also do etc" situation.
TwoFlower68
Scope creep is where you want to do A, but in order to do A, you need B but B is broken and can be fixed by C, so now you're searching for C
TastelessCalculator
My team just dubbed this “slippery scope”
ImThatGuyForSure
I didn't know that nickname for me made it past highschool
FernandoRumdebum
Well of course they're creepy, they let you spy on things from really far away
FernandoRumdebum
NO I SHALL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR MY COMEDIC GENIUS

I’ve heard this called “yak shaving”
NOINOON
It's not. Fixing the shelf was not required to get the lightbulb changed. https://seths.blog/2005/03/dont_shave_that/

It is, ignore the pedant

What's scope creep?
EgglyBagelface
Here is what will be in this release. What you end up with will be that and a bunch of other shit that popped up in development
DanniLuxgarbe
We need to do thing1. Ah, but we have to do thing2 first... but we also need thing3 for thing1 to make any headway... and thing4 for thing2.
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
Sounds like a poorly written project plan
xSquirrelly
Reminding me of work?!
ohthesnowmanity
While I’m at work‽
UnattendedDeviant
Only salaried workers get that.
SomeGrayFox
Scope creep is why our 6 month projects take 5 years to complete. "We've been doing this for 18 months now but we're only at the beginning."

My uncle is a contractor. He has the same character traits as a slave driver.

I can relate, I'm not contacted though. I'm somehow an hourly network admin and in house dev...
furriephillips
Do you get paid overtime?
dschuma
Yeah but I don't get compensation for being permanently on call
MalletBallet
Scope creep is a normal part of managing a large code base and should be accounted for rather than swept under the rug for later again.
Ferfax
Tell that to Chris Roberts
DemSumBigAssRidges
Minor scope creep* Large scope creep generally means a new project should be added/bid for.
Fejerro
Wrong, sir. Scope creep is project poison and should be avoided.
PokoOnoandtheJamJams
Backlog bitches
MalletBallet
That's the perfect way of ending up with "Why didn't we account for this case when we wrote the methods for this project?"
bamblebimble
What is scope creep
notinterestednow
When the customer or boss or client keeps adding to what your project needs to do. Each new "feature" creates more and more work.
Pestilince
When the scope of work gets shifted ever so slightly into the realm of not your job anymore.
NOINOON
Nah m8, it's still your job. There's just a hell of a lot more of it.
Pestilince
lol meant that as not your "original" job anymore. It's always gonna be your job one way or another in the lines of work this is an issue.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's more like technical debt. Scope creep is when you want to achieve object A but you add in object B when it's not necessary to do so.
NOINOON
That's a programmer POV. However B might be necessary to achieve C, which is a sales objective. And as we all know: the purpose of program>>
NOINOON
>>mers is to support sales.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I've done both dev and sales, I know the POVs very well. Now I work in product strategy where a huge part of my job is defining scope and /1
TwoFlower68
No, you've got it all backwards!! The sales department must make profit to support the programmers, so they can write beautiful code.
