I like to call it Scrum-Jira, because the combo of those two things makes for a development process that seems to be all about separating me, the developer, from the bigger picture. Everything is a tiny disconnected chunk, and mentally escaping that box and seeing more wholistic view of my code is actually difficult. The result is my work becomes about "iteratively" jamming in new lines of code here and there without much regard to architecture.

@jrf9735 Sometimes when I'm working in a sprint, I'm also perusing the backlog, and I will find stories that relate to where I happen to be in the code, and I'll just pull them in and be working them too. I should be able to do that. Helps me get back to a more whole conception of the project and the code. It also helps to stop trying always to break jiras down to smaller and smaller sizes. Let them be big. I'm still going to code incrementally, but I don't need my small steps pre-planned.
