- j-bos 3y agoIs this satire?
- Tao3300 3y agoThe first half definitely isn't, it was a term on the list of top priority bad things to stop saying. The second half might just be me mistaking correlation for causation. Other items included: * blacklist/whitelist - mostly complete, but we picked all the alternative names depending what part of what project you're on * master (the git branch) - yeah, that didn't happen * backlog grooming - always seemed like a silly name anyway, refinement is a better name. Our backlog isn't a prize animal being groomed and primped for show, it's more like a crude product being belched out of the bowels of the earth that needs to be refined in order to be useful.
