Garrett LeSage"as a user, I want to see 'as a user' as a prefix to justify all kinds of things I'd never actually want, including being called a 'user'"

@garrett If you're not using it, why complaining? 🤔
@publicvoit (I'm a designer, and this was in response to an enhancement issue that a programmer filed.
They started with an incorrect "user story" with the typical agile/scrum inspired phrase "as a user..." and then had stuff nobody using the software would every say.
The problem is that many developers have turned the idea of a "user story" on its head and try to justify absurd things with that phrase. This isn't an isolated experience whatsoever.)
@publicvoit There are a ton of blog posts talking about this issue over the years; here are 3, for example:
- https://blog.prototypr.io/stop-it-with-as-a-user-5feb9b38d920
- https://gojko.net/2013/09/30/writing-as-a-user-does-not-make-it-a-user-story/
- https://uxdesign.cc/as-a-user-i-dont-want-to-973990a30158
(It comes from agile and scrum methodology, which does contain some good ideas, but also a lot of bogus practices too.)
