[it's early Saturday morning and the team has been working overtime. Santa storms into the factory floor shouting..]
[Santa] Don't you elves take any pride in your work?!?! Others would love to have your job for much less pay! I asked for a simple type that will reverse strings!! How hard is that?!? What do we even pay you for??
[unfortunately, Santa is conveniently forgetting that the Reverse
type was cut from the sprint (which... of course... he agreed to)]
[floor manager] Ok. We never got acceptance criteria for that ticket.
[Santa] How difficult is it to understand what Reverse
does!? 'rehsaD'
should be transformed into 'Dasher'
, 'recnaD'
should be transformed into 'Dancer'
, 'recnarP'
should be transformed into 'Prancer'
.. DO I NEED TO KEEP GOING?
[floor manager] Well you might be surprised. For example, what should happen to multi-codepoint unicode characters?
[Santa] What are you on about with all that accessibility stuff again!
[floor manager] Accessibility is important, sir.
[Santa] Look, this is just an MVP. We can add accessibility later. Just get me my Reverse
type! I'm having a hard time reading this stuff otherwise!
