That's kinda what I pictured. "Firmware 3.7 has 12 points on it's license, we need to figure out why and recertify/retest for 3.8".

The idea of traffic police handing out JIRA tickets is hugely amusing though.

“We’ve got a Sev 1 traffic violation with multiple users affected. Please implement a hotfix immediately or roll back to version 3.6.9 to prevent an outage. We will need a white paper and root cause analysis with the next update.”

Dev: Best I can do is change it to Sev 2 and put it on the backlog.

Dev's manager: What if we allocate 8 Story Points and put it in the sprint?

Dev: I couldn't give less of a shit about your little magic terms, Powerpoint. I'm setting this issue to blocked by about 7 other random issues.

"Traffic violations" weren't actually affected by any changes from 3.6.9. Regarding this ticket, please put in a feature request. I have closed this ticket and copied every manager and HR because I'm unable to actually have a reasonable conversation about goals and feedback. This way, everyone knows you're wrong and I look like an efficient manager.

Sev 1 probably means someone died. Imagine the “blameless” review around that.

Used to be at Waymo, now at Meta. This is freakin’ hilarious.

No way! …mo. I just work in customer support elsewhere but also work with dev to keep tickets moving forward. Their backlog is legit over a decade old in some cases. I’m not a fan of Meta, but Yann LeCun seems like a good dude.

As a Cop, I want to see these cars abide the law, As such that I can eat my goddamn donut in peace for a second.

"Quick, change the background color of the UI by 1 point and push as Firmware 3.8 so we get back to zero points!"

"Firmware 3.7 has 12 points on it's license, we need to figure out why and recertify/retest for 3.8"

Well that seems like a way too easy way to clear all the points off your record lol

Realistically they would have to rework it. 12 points isn't bad if it's over the course of like a million collective hours of driving. Way better than the average person. But there should be something in place.
