Sep 1, 2026, 10:43 PM@anEXPer I do a lot of back-end integration work. When shoe-horned into the format, many stories look like “as system x I want to get data D in format F so I can act on it” (often there’s a “from system S” in there too, which I fight against; that’s meta info.), or else “as system S I want to safely expose data D so clients can act on it”.
There may be a special place in hell for those who insist on saying any system “wants” anything. I fight this shoehorning of system specs into user stories constantly. Has anyone seen a good format I can throw back at them?
