I’m probably just bad at agile but I usually prefer if QA sends a quick message about a bug first to make sure it’s actually a bug and they’re not just misunderstanding a story.

That seems perfectly reasonable.

What comes to mind when I see this meme is more along the lines of CS DMing devs directly with customer issues and expecting us to magically come up with a solution to something with minimal information given.

I love those because they close so quickly. Everyone gets X bugs per sprint, and I closed one in 30 minutes. One less thing to do this sprint.

Or it’s because every time they make a ticket it’s so messy it can’t be understood.

Of course the grizzly way to respond back is to reassign it back to the QA and demand clarity and reproduction of the issue.

That ain’t very grizzly. We have a “need more info” column in our support trello and nobody has a problem with it.

You’d be surprised at how many folks take it personally…

Jira plugin FTW.

Right click their message - create a ticket from this message.

And then assign it back to them requesting they specify all the details so it can be groomed in the next scrum (hahah)

And then you close the ticket and mark it as wont do because they dont know what they want and the details dont help

for OSS projects, it’s “ping the dev on Discord”

I recently came across an early access game with no bug tracker where the expected way to report bugs was to leave a message in a discord channel. 🤦‍♂️

It’s easier to ignore stupid questions than keeping closing issues

Whats a better way? Maybe some in game messaging system?

Literally any actual bug tracker.

I thought this was supposed to be funny, not a headache-inducing reminder of real life.
