JIRA. The most complex simple system I used. Simple in theory (Project Management) but complex in implementation.

#252* Jira - over-engineered, unnecessarily complex and utterly slow. * Zoom - worst video conference product __EVER__. Can't say a single good word about it. * AWS admin console - same as jira, at least it's not slow. * VPNs in general annoy me beyond reason too. At this point I use a raspberry pi to connect to the vpn and I use it as an SSH access server (and tunnel respectively).

#253Git. The UX and design is broken af, nothing work, noone get it. AWS. I don't know where to begin. Nothing make sense. Nothing works. Docker. This thing is basically backward at every step. We should have never packaged different things on linux as a single "container". It does not work that way and that has created more pain than solve anything. K8s: same Go: same Venv. Goddamnit this never worked well and same as g…

#254The most oppressive piece of software ever written makes suckers out of all of us. No amount of campaigning to Intel cuts any ice. Nobody is big enough or powerful enough to get rid of it.

#257Slack: their web UI is ridiculously slow, and I hate how it creates this expectation that I’m online 24/7. GitHub: we mainly use phabricator now at my day job (which I love love love), but I don’t really derive any joy from using this product anymore. I think great tools are also fun to use, perhaps controversially. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I find GitHub sort of a drag for some reason. NodeJS: I absolut…
Can't you just log off after 5?

#258* BMC Remedy (Oh my god. Utterly disgusting experience.) * Atlassian JIRA (never really got the hang of it. Overcomplicated.) * Workday (the web app is sloooooow.) * MRemoteNG (The best SSH client on Windows. Also the worst. Alt + Tab navigation annoys me to hell!) * iTunes on Windows (Why is it like the way it is even in 2020!?)
Isnt apple trying to kill iTunes in general?

#259Maven, since the dependency hell and that __every__ single project requires the same ugly boilerplate and yak shaving tasks, worsened if the infamous release plugin is used. Jira, because it's too slow and bloated from features you never use anyway. IntelliJ, because it freezes on every 6-7 autosuggestions, on projects of 50-80K LOCs.
