Make the backlog reflect what's actually breaking
Email Carly and she'll cluster your Sentry issues by root cause, match them against existing Linear tickets, and file the rest with occurrence counts, stack traces, and the right project — so the backlog stays honest.
What Carly does
- 01 List the top Sentry issues by occurrence for the week
- 02 Cluster by root cause — same stack signature, same module
- 03 Search Linear for existing issues that match each cluster
- 04 For matches, add occurrence counts as a comment
- 05 For new clusters, create a Linear issue with stack + impact
A backlog that reflects reality
Each Linear issue represents one real bug with an occurrence count. Planning prioritizes by actual impact — not by whoever filed loudest last sprint.
Email this to Carly to kick it off.
Hey Carly, Can you triage this week's Sentry errors into our Linear backlog? Pull the top Sentry issues by occurrence for the week and cluster them by root cause — same stack signature, same module counts as one bug. Then check Linear for existing issues that match each cluster. If you find a match, add a comment with the updated occurrence count. For anything new, file a Linear issue with the stack trace and impact, and route it to the right project. Ask me before creating or commenting on anything in Linear so I can sanity-check the clusters first. Thanks!

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
