A design professor actually proposed this idea to us. Make the user feel how the computer is working, so they can appreciate the result more.
Take the same approach with tickets: Finish one in 10 minutes? You just get a new one. Finish the same one in 2 days, and claim "Pff, that was a tough one, but I did it!" - Makes the Product Owner think the Developer is working, and appreciates the result way more
Not of they ask Jim about it and Jim stabs you in the back and says nah this should take an hour max dunno what Ron is doing.
Then sneak in a test case that fails if the commit is made by Ron and ask Ron to implement it in an hour, all tests green. 😈
Eh that's grounds for dismissal or at least a reprimand.
You always talk the shit, you never write it down.
