It is so exhausting to have to write everything as

"As a user, I need the developers to have a fast build process so they can deliver features and bug fixes to me on time"

"As a user, I need the developers to have a fast build process so HR isn't driven crazy replacing burned out developers who churn"

"As a user, I need JDK 8 replaced with JDK 17 so IT's security process doesn't make the old JDK disappear from developer's desktops and from the server..."

I worked at one place where I got bitched out for filling out 95% of the tickets in the trouble ticket system, part of that was that I wrote super fine-grained tickets but the other one was that the product manager was AWOL and never actually wrote tickets.
