Jira — always adding friction 🤣

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

It's remarkable how unliked Jira is. Hard to come up with another piece of software that seems so universally panned by people who have to use it, yet has clearly proven popular. I guess there's Salesforce, but... So what is it about Jira that so many don't like?

Missing the mini...

Imagine commuting 45 minutes each way just to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.

[Austine @theereal_one]

Most 9-5s don’t even require 9-5. You end up just dragging out tasks for the duration of the day cause you’ve to be there anyway.

[Jauwn @Jauwnio]

Under these new rules, all employees must sit at a desk in an open floor plan office, surrounded by noise from 9-5.

Performing our job which involves staring at a computer screen and talking to clients all day.

Tracking time is for bureaucrats. If they make you do it, find another job.

The worst part of my job was always filling out a timesheet.

Nothing made me more miserable than an end-of-day email because I forgot to send my timesheet.

Unfortunately, this is common across the industry. Middle managers want to change the world by pushing numbers on a spreadsheet.

I remember this dude who forced us to report time on every task in JIRA.

Every time we worked on something, we had to do two things:

1. Track how much time we spent working on that issue.

2. Update the estimated time to finish it.

It was a nightmare.

He called out anyone who looked like they had spent too long on something.

What do you think happens?

Everyone started cheating. Nobody cared about delivering anything anymore. The only thing that mattered was that your estimates were as close as possible to the time you reported.

It took an act of God to stop that practice, but I had PTSD until the day I quit.

Does everyone have to do this, or does this only happen in certain companies?
