>Repeat those meetings 3X a week and I developed a visceral objection to Jira. Only later did I realize that what I hated most was actually the pomp and ceremony that came with Jira-toting TPMs

Jira's like guns: it can be used for good or evil. But given how bad the worst case can be, would you really want to leave a bunch of rifles lying around your company?

Guns: the only good outcome of a gun is it is never used, virtually all other uses of guns are differing flavors of tragedy

Perhaps people don't remember the days of bugzilla as a product, or various CA (computer associates) software. JIRA is bloated and probably inferior now, but it was a far superior option about 15 years ago.

Just recently I read a nice quote here on HN (paraphrasing):

Either you die young as a hero or you live long enough to become the villain

What happens more often, a biathlon, or a school shooting?

Women's division I'd say biathlon.

Not sure about men's though.
