Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

I was a gifted kid who realized that when I applied myself all I got was more and harder work that I also didn’t want to do. Being successful academically felt like a punishment.

So I don’t mind at all that I’m filling out Jira tickets. It’s easy work and I have other things to enjoy.

I feel personally attacked by this post!

My high school never had math competitions so I’ll never know how I’d do. :(

Kind of off topic but some people are really bad at writing jira tickets.

“Show the user a list of projects [eof]”

Ok but like, only their projects, right? Do they need to be ordered? Searchable? Paginated? Only active ones or soft deleted ones, too? Do you just need the name or do you need metadata too?

Somehow product doesn’t love my stance of “if it’s not on the ticket or in a sop, the behavior is undefined and you get what you get” stance.

Oh look, it’s me.
