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

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

LOL Love the (accurate) JIRA inclusion there

Q: Couldn't this JIRA ticket just be an email?

A: No! Because JIRA will send you like, 10 emails.

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.

I mean, it kinda fits with the rest of that category, other than I've never been harassed about healing crystals.

Showerthoughts

43813 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
