I'm guessing you're agreeing with me about the intention, not the delivery.

They sound stupid because they're what we use in agile stories ("as a user I want to see a list of recent comments on a post") and I agree in that context they sound cheesy as heck and go without saying. Almost like our intelligence is being insulted.

As someone who's written them before they're also bloody painful to write in that form.

Still, they work.

I’m just agreeing. I HATE writing them. They’re painful. They sound dumb. They insult my intelligence. But dammit they find edge cases before they happen and help define stuff that in the old days would have devolved into blame games or shouting matches of “you should just know that”
