alt Hacker NewsYeah, it is way worse than that. In the past two days, I have had two separate non-engineer team members ask some AI agent how some mobile bug should be fixed and posted the AI response in the ticket as the main content and context and acceptance criteria. I then had to waste my time reading this crap (because this is really all that is in the ticket) before starting my own efforts to understand what the real ask or change in behavior needed is.

You close the ticket and ping the manager of the nontechnical person submitting the ticket. Then you have a discussion with management about the arrangement and expectations. If it doesn't go well you polish your resume.
Your manager should be on their ass for wasting your time.
Our leader wrote himself a great prompt to fill up Tickets in jira with useless text too and our boss is happy like if he won the lottery. Now instead of ugly but short useful texts now i have yo read a fucking eassay!!!
