Reporter context: EDIT: the content below is severely outdated Our has a lot of legacy stuff that slow down development: We have at least 4 different ways to represent an HTTP request/response, we need to handle all of them in the code. Intproxy requests don't have any ID, so we rely on sequential processing on the agent side. This…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Interview five affected users
- When did you last need this?
- What outcome were you trying to reach?
- What did you use instead?
- How often does this occur?
- What commitment would prove it matters?
Run the smallest experiment
Deliver the outcome manually or with a narrow prototype before building a reusable feature.
A user completes the real workflow and commits time, data, distribution or budget to repeat it.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
