I hate this kind of management culture that misuses story points. Story points are supposed to take into account difficulty. So if you spend an entire week debugging a difficult bug, you should’ve accumulated about the same amount of story points as colleagues debugging ten easy bugs.

Just about everything about Agile as it is actually practiced IRL by most workplaces is "misuses X".

At some point one can't help but wonder: if almost everyone is "misusing" it, then maybe it's a problem with the methodology itself, and the people for whom it works would have worked just as well organically without it?

Every one have different approaches to story points and every one thinks their way is ”the right way”. In the end they just turn into an abstraction layer for man hours.
