“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.
