#22I always wonder how much of this sort of thing is disdain for the specific tool vs. disdain for what working in a mid-to-large org. is like and the overhead it usually brings with it.
Jira + Scrum is a soul crushing nightmare, Jira + Kanban is fine.

That's cause it's write-only.
It's like:

rm $DOCS

#24Never heard about it. You mean this product? https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/ While I have not heard about Jira, Atlassian rings a bell. Not sure why.
i wonder how common this is, and why havent you heard of it, specially that you know about this site hacker news
this is almost on the same level as someone saying he never heard of subversion

It is possible to have terrible poorly made tool, and use it to commit unspeakable atrocities.
If JIRA at least had rational design underlaying poor implementation, it would give some reason to bear and hope. Instead, it is an infinite fractal of nope, the likes of which you hardly encounter outside government contract projects.

#29I Fucking Hate This Website Design. I get their points, but the way everything is presented is awful. I assume that these are comments on an article or responses in a conversation, but I can't see who is responding to what. Clicking "Next" to see each individual comment is also tedious, and it means I'm going to stop reading after 4 or 5 pages. I'd rather read a single page that I can scroll through rather than an "i…
Pretty grumpy take...
I read dozens of them and I found the presentation to be a fun approach. The creativity is welcome IMHO.

If you've worked with JIRA extensively, you've already heard many of these criticisms.
