So you telling me Jira and all its related bullshit will get even worse? I hadn't thought it possible.
You're absolutely right!
Would you like me to yassify this ticket for you?
There's a chance that leaning out the team makes things better. Bloat kills dev teams.
But... ticketing systems are a bit like fashion. We could see some new shiny system come around that does more or less the same thing, but becomes fashionable for one reason or another and eats Atlassian's lunch.
That's just a failure of learning and imagination.
I'm just being facetious, I of course know there is no bottom to how shitty things can be.
Pretty much all of my colleagues wasted time, because Jira stores comments locally that you haven't yet sent, but does not do that for replies on comments. Those are gone after reopening the site for some reason.
Feel like that's on you, unless you were born yesterday.
