Story points are evil because they were intended to help teams set achievable goals but are almost never used as such. Once a manager catches wind of this practice, they will bastardize it into a pile of shit most high. Scrum doesn’t prescribe this practice so ditch it. Reject it and move to something only the team members will understand. If you move to relative animal sizes or some shit and you meet your goals, managers can fuck right off.


There’s some power sipping mini ITX boards that are intended for servers. They are Intel N150 based and let you add a ton of ram. I have one in a Jonsbo NAS case with 6 drives in a ZFS pool. If you’re inclined to build your own, you have lots of options.
