How do you prefer to develop software projects?

• Get specs from management/marketing and follow them to the letter.
• Get specs from management/marketing then just do what you want anyway.
• Assemble a large committee of managers/marketers.
• Assemble a large committee of end users.
• Assemble a large committee of programmers.
• Fork someone elses project.
• Close your eyes and pull specs out of thin air.
• Just start coding and see where it takes you.
• Projects? I don't do no stinking projects.
