Would be great to see how others are handling real world use cases like making incremental improvements or refactorings to a huge legacy code base that didn't start out as a spec driven development hello world project, or situations where you identify additional aspects of the spec midway through implementing the tasks as opposed to before you start implementing the tasks (because the reality is BDUF is still hard), or etc.
I believe this is a reflection on how things are run. High pressure, no reviews. All to get something out there.
