Everyone at least heard stories of people who just want that button 5px to the right or to the left and next meeting they want it in bottom corner - whereas it doesn’t make functionally any difference.

But that’s most of the time is not that they want it from objective technical reasons.

They want it because they want to see if they can push you. They do it „because they can”. They do it because later they can renegotiate or just nag and maybe pay less. Multiple reasons that are not technical.

And that’s why you make your code modular and impervious to such change. And I don’t mind if they want to spend their money by making me do stuff that’s not important.
