random example, may or may not come from a real situation that just happened:
- other team opens jira ticket requesting a new type of encabulator
- random guy who doesn't know anything of how the current encabulator system works picks up the ticket for whatever reason
- 10 minutes later opens a 2000 line vibe coded pr with the new encabulator type and plenty of unit tests
- assigns ticket to the person who designed the current encabulator system for review
- encabulator system designer finds out about this ticket for the first time this way
- "wait wtf what is this? why are we doing any of this? the current system is completely generic and it takes arbitrary parameters?"
- waste an hour talking to the guy and to the team that requested this
- explain they could just use the parameters, close pr and ticket
it's so incredibly productive
