At one extreme, you say "do whatever the hell you want", and not much 
happens. At the other extreme, you have people micromanaging your time, 
telling you how to do every minute detail. Basically, if my boss has to 
tell me how to implement each line of code, it would be vastly quicker 
for him to just implement it himself.

There has to be a happy medium somewhere in the middle.

What I am saying is that I expect a little bit more guidence than "go 
build a stock control system. Make it control stock." I don't think 
that's unreasonable.
