I believe that this kind of work environment must exist, because it's such a strong trope, but honestly I've never really worked in a place like this. I'm sorry for people who do, and who feel stuck there. Not all software engineering is like this.

But if I had a work environment like this, I would be blaming management, and not Jira.

And I should have been clear: not many engineers are actually "how dare you interrupt me, I'm an ENGINEER" types, in my experience.

But I guess I've seen enough blog posts that are so precious about being a software engineer, and so (perhaps unintentionally) dismissive of other people in the org who are also trying to do their jobs, that I probably got triggered a little.
