I mean yes, I hate the manager who set up JIRA that way, but JIRA is marketed to and designed for managers to over-complicate it. It is not designed as a tool for engineers to track their work. It is designed for managers to mis-manage teams, because that sells at volume.

I also have other reasons for hating JIRA:

1. no ticket hierarchy
2. no multiple owners
3. slow. so very slow
4. sometimes keyboard shortcuts work, sometimes they don’t. There is no apparently pattern.

Because it is a scam. Just like the people selling, instead of using:

• healing crystals
• essential oils
• blockchain
• penis-enlargement pills
• JIRA

While his perceptions of other people’s motives and meanings may be suspect, his technical analysis seems pretty spot on.

No LLM use is benign. The effects on the environment, the internet, and society are real, and that cannot be ignored.

You can make the argument that in some cases it is justified, e.g.: for scientific research.

Cyclists act like a cyclist when it is convenient and like a pedestrian when it is convenient.

Cyclists act like a car when it is the only way to avoid getting killed in car-centric hellscapes.
