nixCraft 🐧let's be honest here, anyone who claims to be "passionate" about Jira, Confluence, and the entire Atlassian suite... well, they're clearly unhinged. they probably enjoy filling out TPS reports too
Andre@nixCraft "passionate about Jira, Confluence and ACS" === desperate
Bill the Lizard@nixCraft Hatred can be passionate too. I'm still not applying.
Raul@nixCraft Like being "passionate" about filling tax forms, right
Jax@nixCraft I'm currently languishing in a limited, red-tape filled Atlassian environment myself. Does that qualify me?
catraxx 
@nixCraft Aren't those the early signs of psychopathic behavior?
vriesk (Jan Srz)@nixCraft It always amuses me how Confluence is apparently named after "confused fluency".
@nixCraft And yeah, I'm passionate about Jira.
But probably not in the way they like.
Cat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) 
@nixCraft I am passionate about being able to eat daily, so sure, I love *gags* Jira!
NosirrahSec 🏴☠️ guillotine enthusiast
build a better world@nixCraft the only team someone passionate about JIRA and Confluence should join is a checkers team at their local psyche ward
Alex P. 👹@nixCraft
i guess i liked bitbucket somewhat but then they killed mercurial support so it could be yet another git front-end

silverwizard@saddestrobots @nixCraft I passionately hate Bitbucket - does that count?
Hal Pomeranz@hal_pomeranz @nixCraft And business is booming lately!
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)@nixCraft I’m quite passionate about JIRA. I loathe, hate, and detest it, and will kill it with fire if it ever comes near a team I’m responsible for. I will happily authorise my team to build a trebuchet to launch it into the sea weighted down with rocks if the fire doesn’t work.
I guess they want to hire me?
PetterOfCats@nixCraft I have never run into a company using Jira etc and not managing it (mind you, the whole point of Jira etc is to manage) with a spreadsheet excel or otherwise.
Kilteer@nixCraft A passion is just a strong emotional connection. Anger, hate, blinding rage... these are hallmarks of being passionate about Jira and Confluence.

#atlassian must be hiring so they can send vulnerability updates for #confluence on Thursday night instead of Friday night.

My name is Gordo@nixCraft The target audience is the kind of entrepreneurs who pay for their employees to attend all 3 days of the Landmark Forum as a condition of employment. Every other human on the planet's response is somewhere between quiet rage and hysterical laughter.

@nixCraft Hard to be passionate with JIRA:
- when the implementation you use host more 10000 projects and is incredibly slow
- when admin categorize 3 possible workflows in the running instance and doesn't let you choose which one is the best for your application, neither let you customize the workflow/UI to let you have something matching your needs...
- when you loose 10 years of history on the last JIRA migration because admin considered that closed JIRA are useless and consume too much resources on the instance (it was ~5000 JIRA, ~5GiB once exported...)
It's like Service-Now: maybe they're good softwares, but shitty implementation/settings/UI let you consider that the entire tool is shitty

@nixCraft My autistic ass parses these literally and disqualifies self as unqualified
bazkie 👩🏼💻 bitplanes 🎵@nixCraft I basically deeply hate every word she mentioned
Jan Antoš@nixCraft the only reason why some company is using Confluence is because it is part of Jira “stack” no sensible personnel will introduce Confluence after he observes granular capabilities of access permissions to spaces.
John Breen@nixCraft I was just happy to move beyond Microsoft FrontPage, which was not actually that bad, to publish internal documents. And bugzilla was better than JIRA.
andrybak@nixCraft I'm a tiny bit passionate about improving UX and fixing bugs in these: https://github.com/rybak/atlassian-tweaks
Michael Vilain@nixCraft Actually, I think those people are praying to the Software Gods that they don't have to use ServiceNow any more.
SirWumpus 👾🍁@nixCraft Have also had too many edibles and lost touch with reality - sounds like middle management.
Open Science Community Twente@nixCraft At NASA they're using something else (too): https://professional.wiki/en/news/mediawiki-users-and-developers-conference-2024-vienna#nasa

I know a lot of people who are extremely passionate about Jira and Confluence... but not in a positive way.

derptron@nixCraft I like the little shot of dopamine dragging a ticket into "done" does.
"Another one bites the dust... HEEEYEYEYEY"
Aww...a bunch of other stuff broke? Make a ticket!
Benjamin Smedberg@nixCraft perhaps I have the wrong kind of passion for avoiding them.
@nixCraft “global [you’ll get messages at 3 AM], fast-paced [management constantly chases the latest fad so you have to change direction and projects on a dime] SaaS [we have to charge rent because otherwise there’s literally no reason to use newer versions] environment?”
I will say this about Jira: being forced to use azure devops made me miss Atlassian.

jsled@nixCraft :( It's not unhinged to want people to use reasonable tools to organize their collaborative work. :/ Confluence is a very not bad wiki with lots of great features; Jira is a perfectly fine issue-tracking system so long as you don't base your identity on it.
waldi@nixCraft Last time I looked, Jira and Conflunce have been technically not even remotely related products. So what does being "passionate" about that even mean?
miki@nixCraft As a screen reader user, I'm honestly a lot more passionate about Jira than all the "modern" alternatives like Clickup.
Speed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸@nixCraft I recommend zooming in on the rictus grin on that womans face.
Brian Danger Hicks@nixCraft I have no problem imagining someone getting passionate about Jira.
meejah@nixCraft I passionately hate using Jira _and_ Confluence. Does that count? ;)
Ivan Tsenov 🇧🇬 🇺🇦@nixCraft This is the Dark Web you have been looking for.

@nixCraft My company uses JIRA and Confluence. I was neutral until the enshittifyimg act of going cloud only. Company critical information moved onto someone else's server.
Neutrality gone.
Andrew "Ace" Arsenault@nixCraft Ewww, Jira, Confluence, Atlassian.... Tools created by managers to create more jobs for management.
Allpoints@nixCraft jira; adjective, ji·ra \jē-rä\, Australian for "Death by a thousand cuts"
alexanderadam@allpoints @nixCraft well, if it's death then it can't be an adjective.
But honestly: the real origin of the name #Jira is even funnier, since it's named after #Godzilla: the huge #monster that destroys cities and the lives of their inhabitants.
Which is a pretty matching name, don't you think?
h0nza 🌄 🏊🚴@nixcraft i'd passionately delete every product from their production

Neil Shadrach@nixCraft @briankrebs There really are people, masters of the burndown chart, who love customising swim lanes and creating dashboards. Can you imagine a world without them?
Mister Moo 🐮@nixCraft There’s a lid for every pot.
PassengerIf you're passionate about Jira you're probably a product owner. Do they need more product owners at Atlassian?
@nixCraft I dont have to interact with their "SaaS environment" (probably for the best, judging by the general sentiment), but I do like Sourcetree as a git frontend. Passionate though? Nah.
Sean Randall@nixCraft I just wish I could use the damned CLI for a few things. My team are gaga over coloured bars and whatnot while I'm faffing with stupid HTML wen I could theoretically be typing.
devopscats@nixCraft This obviously comes from the original greek meaning... something undergone, i.e. Hardship or pain...
sleepy@nixCraft @briankrebs i'm passionate about burning all of them to the ground…
Clayfoot@nixCraft Periodic reminder about why so many are not passionate about Jira

Sean Corfield@nixCraft The whole "thrive in a .. fast-paced .. environment" thing is so cringe (and, unfortunately, really common in job ads). Translation: are you willing to work under ridiculous pressure and time constraints?
