  As a...
  – user
  I want to...
  – ensure the developers behind the product have robustly debated the benefits of tabs vs spaces
  So that...
  – I get more value from the product

Well that cuts to the quick.

While trying to share these links in Twitter:

As a...

- App user

I want to...

-Have a new menu item load just before I tap the menu item I wanted

So that...

-I can explore parts of the UI I wouldn't otherwise use

    As a...
    - website user
    I want to...
    - do multiple clicks and scroll and find non-obvious buttons
    So that...
    - I get the minimum cookie choice i want.

Does anyone know why this is implemented?

As a... – registered user I want to... – check the ‘remember me’ checkbox So that... – I am merely placated by the placebo effect

Using a pre-built login form template and forgetting to remove the checkbox is my guess.

As a Zoom user, I want Zoom to forget me on my laptop when I sign in on my desktop, so that I can enjoy typing in my details again whenever I switch machines

Usually it affects the expire setting of the cookie. Adding the check to the box will make your cookies last longer. I have my browser configured to throw away all cookies whenever i close it so it doesn't work for me either.

I have sometimes wondered what the product manager writes on these types of Jira tickets..

Wow. These are so true that it hurts.

These are amazing. None of them are made up, I've personally encountered all of the ones he is talking about so far.
