I got sick of programming, so I switched to management and then technical writing, but soon realized that it is bureaucratic corporate America and its focus on process over achievement that I dislike.

I then discovered that I do like programming. I just don’t want to do it with anyone else.

it's about culture. is Jira a tool to help us along the way to get us to achieve our goals, or are we slaves to the ticketing system in service of itself. some process is good, but when that becomes an end unto itself, that sinks everything. tools are to make our lives better, we're not here to make things better for our tools
