Agile gone wrong Memes

You know that feeling when QA asks you to write tests for a feature that was never properly spec'd out? Just shoot the arrow first, then paint the bullseye around wherever it lands. Problem solved! This is basically the software equivalent of "move fast and break things" except you're moving fast and then retroactively deciding what wasn't supposed to break. The real tragedy here is how often this actually happens in production codebases. Product manager gives you a vague Jira ticket, you build something, and then suddenly you need 80% test coverage. So what do you do? Write tests that validate whatever your code already does, call it "expected behavior," and ship it. The tests always pass because you're literally testing that your code does what your code does. Circular logic at its finest. Bonus points if you've ever had to explain to a stakeholder why changing a requirement means rewriting tests. "But the tests are passing!" Yeah, because they're testing the wrong thing, Karen from marketing.
