That's how it should be.

Love this, Daniela — the way you frame “issues” as both code and story points really landed.

Funny how Jira turned the word into just another to-do, like real issues in life and coding just disappeared and all that’s left are stories we tell each other.

Feels like my code isn’t broken, just my rhythm — Joy Division would’ve written a song about it, I'm sure.

Maybe all we need is a branch handed down from the repo master… or maybe the repo’s waiting on us to do a little commit first.

Issue has various meanings. Magazine issued every week. „Issue of lifetime“ could also be a title for a post of mine.

User _stories_ going like this: „A customer comes into a bar and asks where the bathroom is.“ Scenarios, like the ifs we do to catch exceptions. Yet not always covering all exceptions we imagined.

Some code is compiling nicely but failing on runtime. Or ‚overwhelming’ the CPU due to too many setstate rebuilds. The user tapping on something else because the screen wasn’t reacting fast enough.

Haha - love all the scenarios. Can't trust users when it comes to breaking things - they always find a way of doing things we expect least :)
