As a

recipe reader

I want to

dismiss cookies, have a video ad follow me down the page, and read why this cake conjures up memories of the author's childhood, before reaching the actual recipe

so that

I feel connected to the author, before fully committing to mixing ingredients




That "user story" is like a tragically misinterpreted comment by someone at a prospective customer, speaking of a special time with their grandmother, but garbled through N layers of field sales, marketing, product managers, engineering hierarchy, and Agile task management.

Including the part about declining more cookies offered (to save room for grandma's lasagna).


Tom Redman had this idea but he took feedback from Twitter. https://digg.com/2021/one-main-character-tom-redman-recipeas...
