This is a case where thought experiments based on your own assumptions just aren’t very useful.
It’s very way to end up arguing with straw men about made up categories.
What you define as “paper cuts” is probably very arbitrary and would differ significantly between individuals. It only makes sense in the context of an existing backlog of issues that is properly groomed and labeled. Otherwise you may as well just call them “pet peeves” instead. It’s totally subjective.
So whether they “matter” or not is really unanswerable outside of that context, and frankly not very interesting within that context as well. If they mattered they would already have been fixed…
- LadyCailin 3y ago> If they mattered they would already have been fixed I just don’t think this is true at all. I’ve always been on teams where the backlog of issues with very real business value (for any value of “matters”) far exceeded the capacity of the team. Given that, it meant that there was a constant battle of prioritization. That process ought to include “Papercuts” as an input variable, for sure.
