Just wait till jira will be converted into a backend with the frontend being Copilot. Y’all be begging to go back to Jira
Not having to use JS is below all of those.
I hate how that’s the language everything is slowly converging to. Even if you don’t work on websites, you always have this fear in the back of your mind that one day your project will be infected.
It’s not even easy like people claim it is. I find JS significantly more difficult than Java because there are way more things that can go wrong and troubleshooting is way more frustrating. Just because the app will launch even with errors in the code does not make it easier in the long run. Compile time errors are good actually.
I feel the same way about python, too.
The way everything is just JavaScript and python, now, is really annoying.
Js is indeed painful. I find the right approach is to simply treat it as a compile target. I’ve worked with ClojureScript when I had to do front end work, and I find it’s a huge improvement because it has sane language semantics. You have things like proper equality, comparison by value, immutable data structures, and so on. It’s not perfect because you still have to deal with stuff like source maps to get errors out of minified bundles, and you have to interop when you deal with Js libraries, but it’s a huge improvement overall I’ve found.
I didn’t like Jira before I used everything else. Now I like Jira.
Jira would be okay without needless amount of plug-ins, extensions, and dumb workflows one has to follow. Accidentally put it in the wrong state? Enjoy writing to someone who can fix it. Besides, it is slow as fuck and is getting slower with all the tickets (over 80k on our instance) it has to track. Search is shit, and it is shoving AI in my face on every step.
Plain Jira is not bad. In my second company that I work for, I set up OpenProject and it has been working flawlessly for about 5 years already, it can easily track GitLab commits, branches, and merge requests, and do basic time tracking. It has some nifty features like “budget users” when you want to do budgeting with a “ghost user”.
Needs more Outlook/Sharepoint
Hey I liked JIRA. I liked it even more after they forced us use Saleforce for issue tracking 💀
Jira is alright, not great, not terrible. You need something to track projects and break down work and say least being ubiquitous a lot of people are familiar with it.
Teams is a dumpster fire of excrement though.
I got fired two weeks ago and it fucks me up pretty badly.
But the fact that i don’t have to use Teams, at least for a while, is just such a relief. Fuck that shit.
Sorry to hear that. Good luck finding a new gig without needing to interact with Teams again.
Worry not, soon you wouldn’t have to use anything as your job would be gone.
Also, are programmers as good in identifying root causes of misery as Luddites were? Hint: it wasn’t machines, it was capitalism.
Given the reactionary position people in tech are increasingly taking with AI, I think we know the answer to that.
