I felt this in my teeth.
Lemme lean into this a little harder: JIRA is what companies buy when they should have invested in manager training five years ago.
@mhoye very curious about this because I can’t tell if you mean jira in particular or bug tracking systems in general.

@bsmedberg Every project needs issue trackers, but describing Jira as an issue tracker is like describing McDonald's as a restaurant. It's a organizational culture and language least-common-denominator normalization tool whose endpoint happens to resemble an issue tracker.

A well-functioning issue tracker is a core part of making an org visible and legible to itself; adopting a tool that forces every part of an org to speak the same operational language is the lowest-trust path to that goal.

@mhoye @bsmedberg mcdonalds but like…if the franchisee had strict instructions for how you may and may not eat a burger, and had locally altered the rules of physics to enforce that
@thatandromeda @mhoye @bsmedberg also you can’t order a burger without checking all the options on all the items, even the ones this franchise doesn’t sell.
