Oh yes they still write specs! Just so long as it fits on a piece of a 13.5 x 8.0 cm post it note.

I was once sacked, as a contractor, when I was "taking too long" with a job someone had estimated would take 2 days. On reading the requirements I realised that this was in fact an enterprise application integration job no one had realised at the time of the estimate, and would probably take 6 months or more. Even giving an estimate would have required at least a week's investigation of unstructured T-SQL code running into 10s of thousands of lines of code containing undocumented business rules.
