One of these days I’m going to get around to writing a little bash script or something that will let me take a plain-ish text file and upload it into Jira via the API.
I should be able to create a Jira ticket in however long it takes me to type the acceptance criteria plus a second or two. Instead I’ve got slow loading pages, I’ve got spinners, I’ve got dropdowns populating asynchronously that steal focus from what I’m typing, I’ve got whatever I was typing then triggering god knows what shortcuts causing untold chaos.
For a system that is—at least how we use it at my job—a glorified todo list, it is infuriating. If I’m even remotely busy lately I just add “raise a ticket for x” to my actual todo list and do it some other time instead.
