> A task tracker’s still a complex piece of software, and even with gratuitous use of LLMs, you’d expect to spend at a minimum a few weeks on the initial push (charitably).

I don’t think I can take the author seriously after this claim. They must be a beginner when it comes to AI coding. And I’m not advocating vibe yolo coding either.

On the other hand, if someone has a $400/mo Jira bill that means at least 40 users, so $400/month seems like a distraction compared to total comp.

But again, it takes just one SDE to spend a weekend replacing it. That SDE probably has strong opinions on why Jira doesn’t work for them, and strong opinions on what a task system looks like in an AI world. In this world, I’d say Jira is the risk, regardless of its monthly cost.
