Ironically my favorite use of claude is removing caring about jira from my workflow. I already didn't care about it but now i dont have to spend any time on it.
I treat jira like product owners treat the code. Which is infinitely humorous to me.
Horrible degrading take. Be the change you want to see. Don't fuel the fire that's burning you.
If something's not happening, something else's making it impractical. Saying this as a 10+ years product manager and R&D person with 20+ more years of engineering on top.
I also had to deal with "managers are just complicating things" or "users are stupid and don't understand anything"; do you think I complained? No, I had engineers barter trust of their ingenuity with trust of my wisdom, and brought them to customer calls and presented them to users almost like royalty, which made them incredibly respectful as soon as they saw what kind of crap users had to deal with.
The industry is broken now, this is just a response to that. Leadership and product don't have any respect for the code, why would engineers have any respect for the ticketing process.
Thats an unreasonable asymmetric effort demand, "Your code does not matter but my precious tickets must have elbow grease put into them."
> The industry is broken now, this is just a response to that.
No, your behavior is the cause of that.
The entire industry isn't broken. There are good company cultures and bad company cultures just like always.
At least own up to what you're doing. Don't blame "the industry" when you're the one doing the thing.

What about "your milestones, roadmap, discussions and strategies do not matter, but my precious code had elbow grease put into it."
Petty and getting nowhere. Everyone loses. How about product and engineers also disrespect sales, and sales disrespects customers and everyone else.
I really don't get why this is even a question. Good people do good stuff, and bad people make bad companies.

Teach me your ways. I’ve long wished for an actual, human secretary to handle that for me. The context-switching and digging around in a painful, slow interface (I don’t just mean Jira, 100% of the ones project managers find acceptable seem to have this quality) is such a productivity killer, and it’s so easy to miss important things in all the noise.
https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli just install this and have claude write a skill on how to use it.
Its laughably simple to do. I havent touched the jira UI in months.
This is a valuable comment. It's the exact demoralization that others fear we are headed.
