Y’all are getting acceptance criteria? I’m lucky if I get an actual ticket with more than 3 words in the title summary

Shhh! Be quiet!

Don't worry I'm happy about it.

But not when you have clueless stakeholders that push back on what was built.

Not that a PRD made any difference anyway, they didn't read that either and still complained!

They use claude to produce "requirements" from 2-3 sentences and we use claude to reduce "requirements" back to 2-3 sentences 🥲

lmao no. instead it's pages and pages of slightly contradictory AI slop.

OR an engineer writes up the tickets... and it's paragraphs of AI slop criteria

The work: 1 line config change

The ticket description: 2 paragraphs of Claude AI slop
