Me working on html/css updates for a banner message.

Web Ops Director: [slack] Hi! nice to e-meet you! I was talking with the Mgr of Product. He thinks it would be great if the banner message updates were on the site right away instead of having to wait 10 minutes for the cache to clear after updating the banner content in admin. Can you add that to your ticket?

Lol that’s a load of crap. 1) Product would have just told me himself and 2) Product would never pull this bullshit of bringing a ticket out of scope like you’re pulling right now. And 3) My spidey sense says this is a red flag 🚩.

Me: [in words web ops will understand] That’s going to a lot of time. And it would keep your content updates from making it to the weekly release. 😁

    It's a crapy way to do it, but the ask itself has legitimacy to it. How hard could it be to reset a part of cache on demand ?

    @NoToJavaScript The cache settings affect other things that are set in our admin. And mostly I don’t want web ops/marketing getting into a bad habit of changing the scope of tickets all the time. I picked up the ticket because I could fit it into my schedule.
