We Are Behind On Our Sprint Goals! We Need To Hire Another Solutions Architect!

We Are Behind On Our Sprint Goals! We Need To Hire Another Solutions Architect!
Ten people standing around watching one developer dig a hole. Classic enterprise development in its natural habitat. The lone coder does all the actual work while a small army of managers, architects, and stakeholders provide their essential service of... standing there. Adding another solutions architect would definitely fix that sprint backlog. Maybe they can architect a solution for how to hold a shovel.

Jira Fans Issue Is Now Work Item

Jira Fans Issue Is Now Work Item
Atlassian just solved all our problems by renaming "Issue" to "Work Item" in Jira! Because clearly what's been holding back our sprint velocity isn't technical debt or unrealistic deadlines—it's terminology . Next sprint they'll rename "bugs" to "unexpected features" and our code will magically fix itself! Meanwhile, developers everywhere are updating their résumés to include "Work Item Resolution Specialist" instead of "Issue Fixer." That'll definitely boost our market value by at least 0.00001%.

It's like buying 250 tickets to breathe air and then only using 33 of them. Tax dollars hard at work buying premium versions of stuff that's already free! And don't get me started on those 380 Microsoft 365 licenses with ZERO users. Someone's getting a performance bonus for this stellar resource management!

All Security Wants In Return Is To Bring Dev Into Compliance

All Security Wants In Return Is To Bring Dev Into Compliance
The eternal battle between security teams and developers rages on! Security wants SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) implemented in a dev environment that's literally called "isolated" for a reason. The developer's response? A middle finger and an offer to enable 2FA on static accounts—which is like putting a state-of-the-art lock on a cardboard box. It's the perfect encapsulation of the security-versus-convenience standoff that happens in every enterprise. Security folks wanting Fort Knox protocols for sandboxes while developers just want to ship code without jumping through seventeen authentication hoops for an environment where the worst thing you could leak is test data shaped like "foo" and "bar".
