The most expensive mistake in software development often happens before the first line of code.
A few things clients often wish they knew earlier:
→ Start with the problem, not just the features.
→ “Simple” doesn’t always mean easy.
→ Requirements will change — that’s normal.
→ Clear communication prevents expensive rework.
→ The cheapest quote isn’t always the lowest cost.
The biggest lesson?
Don’t start with technology. Start with the problem.
