      I hate jira because it slots your work stupidly by the management, or so I feel it.

      A manager usually works with time slots, say 8 a day (or whatever), they are all mostly disconnected, like do meeting with A, go to standup of team B, PMD for dev C etc etc. Dev isn’t like that but everyone seems to start thinking it is: how many “items” was finalised last “sprint” etc and other stupid metrics.

      Am I alone here or is there even worse things with jira in your opinions?

      Now imagine a very large company implementing that shit software for other kinds of engineering projects! Yey! Lot’s of great engineers have quit because of it.

      Jira, we’ll brain drain your company and make it seem more productive!

      Next thing you know…well the guy who understood that is no longer here. But we can take our best guess… should the door pop inward or outward during a flight?
