Ah, the classic story point inflation syndrome. Junior devs see a simple "add a button" task and suddenly it's a 5-point epic with database schema changes, UI redesigns, and three days of meetings. Meanwhile, senior devs are having Vietnam-style flashbacks to every sprint planning where they had to gently explain that changing a label color doesn't require refactoring the entire codebase.

After eight years of watching this cycle repeat, you develop that exact facial expressionβ€”a mixture of horror, disbelief, and the crushing realization that you'll be staying late fixing the overengineered monstrosity they're about to create.
