I agree. I plan to solve them by prepping for tasks more (doing some of my own PM/BA work ahead of time, so I'm more aware of the roadmap), then being sure to pad the estimates more but also back it up because I will have thought the stories through more.

One thing that seems really strange to me, and I think will seem really strange to future generations... is the paternal tone of just about everyone regarding tech these days. The cherry-picking and bad faith arguments are almost insane sometimes.
