maybe it's just our setup but doing really basic things requires going to multiple different pages. Half the time I make a ticket it just disappears into the ether

Jira is 1000% a case of "tries to do a bit of everything and ends up poo poo at all of it"

also it's incredibly slow and is riddled with weird UI choices. Want to set the date on a release version? off you go through three menu levels!

a lot of that is down to how your org has set it up

jira still sucks, clearly, but everyone can make it suck in their own artisinal, bespoke way

one of our never ending groups of PMs got a massive hard on for "Jira big picture" and wow what a loving mess that is because of how it encourages huge issue spam

so yes, I can at least partly believe that.

never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man
jira is in the category of b2b saas that is "adaptive skin over ""customer tunable"" (probably just a bajillion fields of which most are unused at any given time) database" and as such it is a) guaranteed to suck poo poo b) guaranteed to suck poo poo in a different way for every single customer that modifies it. it's really a tour de force

in my day we called this "lotus notes syndrome". like, in theory, it can be configured to work really well, but in practice, no-one actually knows the magic incantations, or they do, and they don't have the admin privileges to set it up

every so often a programmer goes "it'll be a workflow engine" and we repeat the same horrors that are inflicted on us

lmao people occasionally complain that my corp phone number doesn't work and it's because we have jabber which is a piece of poo poo and I just disabled because it was crashing all the time but more importantly who the gently caress uses a work phone anymore anyway???

also we have sharepoint but I don't ever really have to touch it

our eng management realized that the only thing they ever really have to mark down is holidays or vacation time so that's made it easier for them to be like "ya Share Bear worked 144 hours in February" and no one really questions or microanalyzes it

yeah. jira has plenty of stupid design decisions, but the most egregious jira fuckups are always user created.

i havent found a good alternative to it yet cause everything else only does a subset and usually doesnt do that subset as well as jira

yep, register juggling and manually moving things around in memory as necessary. conveniently the 8088 has the whole segmentation thing I wrote a big effortpost about last year so as long as your programs aren't using more than one segment (which is something you can kind of "enforce" by your "ABI" when you're doing something dumb like this) you can pause your scheduler, move stuff around, change the segment registers they use in their task structures, and turn the scheduler back on. kinda like doing a defrag for memory

QNX solved this problem in 1982 so if I can't do it in 2023 with much better documentation and tooling I'm just gonna give up on touching computer

Hey, posting is posting. You emptyquote, I turn my monitor on; what's the difference?
my old startup job had a basically completely unconfigured JIRA which I used for grouping tickets by project and a really basic kanban board. it was nice and easy to navigate and pretty much entirely manual.

my current job has a completely hosed implementation of JIRA where you can't drag issues between columns on the board, each issue has like 20 fields that I don't understand and no one uses, and the PM gets frustrated and says "it must've gotten lost in the transition to the new board" every other day

why does it have to have all these buttons to group work and see who's working on what. why does the automated stuff not work. why can't I just put the subtask on the board without the epic being assigned to someone else and who configured this shitshow

our instance doesn't support backticks to embed code with markdown. the one thing i strongly feel about wanting to put in a ticket, and it just doesn't work. the code style button breaks have the time, so issues are just plaintext most of the time

Sep 7, 2006

the worlds best project management software where you can't assign two people to a ticket, you have to invent an entire vocabulary for stripping tasks down to their smallest traceable unit and being able to align them back up to a company effort instead of being like "12 rats and the new hire fixed the apache config. ticket done"

im suspicious that anyone who intentionally uses or defends jira has ever performed non computer tasks at an employer

lol yea I've seen this. Particularly the "can't drag the issue between columns for some unknown reason"

I also love it when you cannot progress the issue until you assign it to yourself, but you cant assign by selecting your name in the assign dropdown, you have to click assign and open a popup to select your name and submit it, otherwise it doesn't assign even though you show as the assignee!
