Ticket-Driven Destiny

Description

The image shows Morty from Rick and Morty with a glowing blue crystal stuck to his forehead, looking dazed, with a faint Adult Swim watermark in the corner. The caption at the bottom reads "I do as the ticket guides," with the word "ticket" inserted in a black rectangle between the surrounding white subtitle text. The meme references the idea that developers often follow Jira or issue-tracker tickets mechanically, even when the ticket is incomplete, over-specified, or detached from real product intent. It turns ticket-driven development into a deterministic prophecy rather than an engineering decision process.
