    I FUCKING hate jira with a passion. I swear to god that dumbfuck software is nothing but a miserable time sink.

    I am sorry for the people who got laid off. Also there is no way AI is replacing the CTO….

      I’ve had to use it in various forms for so long now and I can’t believe how unintuitive it is to use. Nothing outside of adding comments is obvious. I dared to try to see what was in a previous sprint and it basically requires a custom report. Why isn’t there just a view sprint dropdown or something? I did a quick search to see if it was just me which lead to the Jira subreddit (why is that a thing?) and felt like I was getting gaslit by all the jira ‘professionals’ calling it a skill issue

      I use Jira at work and I still have no idea what the fuck it is, what it’s for, or why it’s so needlessly complicated. It’s a list of text with some dates and names. Why is that worth shit?

        Companies wanna feel special and have different workflows around tickets. Making customizable workflows that connect with a ton of different systems easily is a shockingly hard problem.

        I feel like there’s a business opportunity to take 50% of Atlassians value and spin it up into something simple but getting the good 50% down is kinda hard as someone is going to miss one stupid feature that runs 40% of their workflows.

      I would have more hate to send Jira’s way if not for all are tickets being written like:

      “As a developer given I am working on page X Then all functionality of page X is correct”

      Then everybody gets pissy that page Y has a bug.

      “I feel like we’ve gotten much better with our acceptance criteria” - one of the people getting pissy about page Y
