I like hackuser's analogy of "Building quality into the process" vs. playing whack-a-bug. I don't have any idea how to fix the process but here's some stories

I like hackuser's analogy of "Building quality into the process" vs. playing whack-a-bug.
I don't have any idea how to fix the process but here's some stories that we can throw in the backlog:
- As a homeless individual, I'd like stable shelter
- As a low income individual, I'd like higher quality housing opportunities
- As a mentally ill individual, I'd like support and treatment to manage my illness
- As an unemployed individual, I'd like a job where I can earn enough income to support myself and family
- As a member of a victimized population, I'd like my peers to refrain from perpetuating a cycle of violence among ourselves
- As a parent with limited means, I'd like my child to attend a high quality school
- As a working parent with limited means, I'd like quality child care
- As an hourly wage-earner, I'd like consistent full time hours so I can better plan my schedule, finances, and future
- As a working individual, I'd like affordable, reliable, and timely transportation options to travel between my home, work, and school
- mindslight 11y agoIt's a good analogy, but the general push for engineering quality comes from larger feedback cycles (say root cause analysis, or even economics itself). The "omg racists" take on this topic is hoping that checking the schematics more will guarantee a good outcome. FWIW user stories inherently passivize the user. The thinking that makes sense for a singularly-designed product most likely does not work for decentrally-emergent society.
