My Software Development Experience

Person1: "Can you develop this software for me?"
Me: "Here it is! Isn't it cool?"
Person1: "That's awesome!"
Person2: "Where's your documentation?"
Me: "Here's my document! Isn't it helpful?"
Person2: "That's awesome! So helpful!"
Person3: "Where's your requirements specification?"
Me: "Here it is."
Person3: "Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted!"
Person4: "Where's your test plan?"
Me: "Here it is."
Person4: "Perfect!"
Person5: "You documents don't use the right format."
Me: "Here they are in the right format."
Person5: "That's much better."
Person6: "Your software doesn't follow the coding standard."
Me: "Look, now it does."
Person6: "Thanks!"
Person7: "Your software needs to interface with these new standards."
Me: "Ok, now it does."
Person7:  "Thanks"
Person8: "I was looking at your software. Did you know this was already available as open source software?"
Me: "Do I still have a job?"
Person8: "Of course, we still need someone to integrate and test it."
Person9: "Actually, we can have GPT4 do all of that."
Me: "Again, do I still have a job?"
Person9: "Yes, we need someone who knows how to ask GPT4 the right questions."
