I found myself in a monthly meeting of 12 or so (Unnamed FANG) managers where they would curate a collection of 3,000-5,000 bugs / issues / feature requests.
It was almost entirely the same collection of old, stale bullshit that no one was ever going to work on.
The meeting started with recently added items, and those were usually digested within minutes.
The rest of the old items were just waste.
This meeting sometimes took a full day. It took enormous amounts of time and energy to review and re-review and debate and re-debate, and with every new contributor, all the old discussions had to be repeated for many of these items.
100% of this effort was waste.
In contrast, our team carried zero open defects. We agreed to either fix or honestly reject defects immediately. We experienced none of this waste and on the handful of occasions where we inappropriately rejected an important defect, it became clear very quickly and we fixed it.
Put the things you want to do someday in some other tool.
The icebox is cancer.
