I put really boring tasks into the backlog to motivate my developers to do everything else faster.

“I just want to use rsync and inotify to automatically sync my data to my NAS so I never again have to forget backing up before doing something stupid. I hate coding and I’m terrible at it but it’ll be fine! It’s 2 commands, HOW HARD COULD IT BE? I’m sure 10 lines of bash can do it.”
