What stays funny

hypothesis: clarity survives most meetings

The joke is the diagram

Every screen gets one clear model before anyone adds polish.

People remain anonymous

Stick figures make the user story specific without making it narrow.

Measurements stay suspicious

Numbers are useful, then interrogated, then labeled in tiny mono.

Warnings earn their yellow

The caution color appears only when the premise can actually explode.
