> moving the button one pixel to the left can be a week As an aside, I always find this to be a funny example, because it's the kind of requirement that reeks of design mistakes (either UI design or code design). How did we end up in a place where a button was 1 pixel out of alignment? It can happen innocently enough with a true "defect", I've seen it, but more often it indicates either A) designers are freeforming everything and wasting massive amounts of time or B) engineers are not using reusable styling frameworks/components. Either way, ending up with a tiny task because a button is 1px out of place probably means you have been wasting hours of work and will continue to waste hours of work if you don't fix it the long way. Doesn't necessarily mean I would stretch that particular ticket out to a week, but I would certainly take a little bit of extra time to make sure we didn't have to fix the exact same problem again next week. |

This is happening at my company. We had built a whole UI library and then the new UI design team came in and started designing everything with zero regard to our existing library. It has been a shitshow.
Bonus points because product likes their new designs more than the premade library, so they are fighting hard to throw out the library. Which we basically just finished building.
Woohoo!
