Not the whole backlog, just the tasks for the feature being designed, like an epic. Atlassian has a CLI that - acli. We use Jira as usual, it's just a way to not having to manually propagate design adjustments to Jira.
I agree with most of what you said, but just want to clarify for others that VAT registration is optional until revenue is high enough to reach the threshold.
Not being VAT registered when starting out is not necessarily a sign of a tax dodge.
This is correct. You do not need to register a business for VAT in the UK unless you hit a specific threshold of income (I think £80k was the figure when I last checked)
Who will want to buy American military technology, when the ability to employ it is at the whim of whoever wins the next election?
Especially as it's clear now than any alliance with the US is fragile at best, and could end overnight depending on which side of the bed Trump wakes up on.
UK governments have been pushing for this for years, usually invoking some recent terrorist event as justification.
I'm not suggesting you're wrong, but I don't think this is _just_ the UK being a US puppet, there is very much an appetite for it in the UK parliament too.
It's easy to sell people that "we just need this one more bit of access to your private data, it helps us stops paedophiles and terrorists", but each step takes us further down a bad path.
I'm sure everybody would agree that having full camera surveillance inside every UK home is too far, but no oversight at all is also bad.
There is a point along that line where society would say "no, that's enough", but successive governments have realised that they can slowly push that point further right and nobody seems to notice, or care.
The general public either don't know about growing mass surveillance and privacy invasions, or don't care. "Terrorism and child abuse = bad, and if this prevents it and I have nothing to hide then why would it be a problem for me?"
We're doing the design docs in MD thing, but are you saying you've gone a step further and have the backlog represented in git too?
