This isn't (exclusively) a forum for programmers (in fact, since it belongs to YC, maybe you'd expect businesspeople etc.) For example, I'm not a programmer, and I've never worked anywhere near the IT sector, yet I visit HN often. Also, if you look at the frontpage there are usually many topics not related to programming, or even tech in general.
Good thing they're fucking blind I guess.
lol'd, thank you
Hey! Don't blame us programmers for new features! We don't usually write the user stories!
Nothing like a "dev process" where the developers do not actually participate.
Is this an admission that you accept to implement complete garbage?
Oh dear God in heaven and Ada Lovelace forgive me for the horrors I have wrought.
If I don’t, there are 100 other people who would do it

Do user stories even come from users?
No, they come from the ads department
All the "The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of my employer" googlers are silent.
Why would you be on HN if you weren't a programmer?
And good! Fix your shit. Take some god damn pride in your work! Just because all code is shit doesn't mean it can be infinitely shitty.
