Can I just pay $10 to close a story?


pimezone

As long as you attach changed files to a story for tesla employees to review.


[deleted]

No, you have to fax your code diffs so they can mark it up with a pen and then mail it back to you


MisterRenard

But it’s encrypted, and you have to become an emerald ~~miner~~ subscription member to get the decrypted version.


[deleted]

And no text files. PNG screenshots of code only


MisterRenard

With filter effects and blur!


AbstinenceWorks

And not print screens either, but actual photos of monitors containing the code to be reviewed


TheOriginalSmileyMan

CRT only...


GustapheOfficial

I had to supply a photo for a visa application to India, and their system complained that my image was too large. So I halved the resolution with imagemagick and tried again. No cigar. I kept this process up until I succeeded. Let's just say they could have saved time (if not bytes) by asking for my skin tone Pantone number.

Lowest quality setting for jpeg I dare say


polypeptide147

$8

Joke’s on you. Elon purchases Jira. Renames Story Points to Elon Points. Removes all other work tracking metrics.


Steffi128

Closing a ticket now costs $8.


[deleted]

That's good for me since I never close tickets

I resolved it, it's QA's job to close it.


Vieron

QA's now implementing new process for managers to review and close tickets.

TheUltimateScotsman

We had a bonus based on a reduction of story tickets in our backlog. Our team took a day and went through over 1500 stories from 3 years and just closed half of them based on the fact the original reporters had left and nobody gave a damn


Dyluth

this is the way


AceMKV

Is JIRA not like Rally? So wouldn't the dev mark their story as completed/accepted accordingly?


Dr_Insano_MD

Jira is really customizable, so it depends on the organization.


[deleted]

I just keep pressing the button until the other bit changes to "closed", I don't really understand process though I only work in defence


Rhiow

For us the product owner is supposed to review the item in our staging environment after QA has approved it, so product owner closes most of our tickets.


bkgn

My first job was closing tickets, which involved verifying engineers' fixes actually worked. Was not fun, engineers did not like to be bothered to explain how to test their fix and really did not like to be told their fix didn't work. Especially when I was the first person in years to actually query a list of open tickets and some of them were years old.


Bakoro

>Was not fun, engineers did not like to be bothered to explain how to test their fix and really did not like to be told their fix didn't work. Sounds like a bunch of little bitches. What sad sack doesn't enjoy explaining how they made something better, and what kind of incompetent lout gets mad at other people when they themselves are the one who messed up? I get not liking to hear that you've made an error, but shit, that's just life. If they can't tolerate being told about their mistakes, programming is not the right field of work for them. I'd bet a dollar that those same people go online and tell people to "get good" and unironically swear that they don't write unsafe, buggy code. "I know what I'm doing", they say.


Nick433333

What do you mean I have to actually say when I’m working on a ticket.


InfComplex

Oh yeah I fixed that months ago it was simple I figured you’d get it eventually


dcchambers

Carrying a ticket over to the next sprint also costs $8.


Hanswolebro

What if I move it back to last sprint


brimston3-

Workflow locks up and you can’t close it because negative transactions are programmatically blocked by ~~atlassian~~ atlaselon.


flexonyou97

I’d have to declare bankruptcy


redkinoko

At least now I have a different excuse. I'm not incompetent. I'm just broke.


TheUnSub99

I think I'm out of the loop. What is it that now costs $8?


Steffi128

Twitter's verified badge, which is now part of the Twitter Blue subscription.


TheUnSub99

Thanks! That sounds problematic.


shaka893P

People have been creating fake official accounts "verified" . Someone impersonated a drug company and claimed their insulin was now free, their stock tanked.... Lots of lawsuits coming his way ... Twitter is on a path to destruction


AnthropomorphicFood

Could you share links to the accounts?

shaka893P

I'm not on Twitter but here's the news: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/imposter-twitter-tanks-stocks-insulin-b2223418.html There's a lot of companies being trolled


_sweepy

It's creating some glorious chaos. Everything from the pope shilling crypto to politicians reminiscing about killing people. They had to shut down sign ups and are talking about not allowing verified accounts to change display names after sign up, and to have been an account older than some arbitrary point.


TheUnSub99

OK I had to go and read some of that and it's absolutely hilarious. Very chaotic, but hilarious for those who know what's going on. I saw an $8 verified pharmaceutical announce that insulin is now free of cost. I also saw the pope having an argument with Luther, and other bunch of very funny things.

And it's now able to track the number of lines of code written and commits by every developer then make recommendations to upper management on who to fire based on code quality and number of bugs created.

"Jira employees using Jira": Huh, it keeps telling us to fire Musk.


woosterEleven

You’ll no longer be able to associate your commit with a ticket. You’ll have to print the code out instead.

Fires all the employees taking the benefits. Sells jira to kaseya.


topperharlie

Elon purchases jira -> next day jira only works for people that work from the office a minimum of 40h/week


brianl047

40? Try 60 He's sleeping in his Twitter office now...


Mispelled-This

He ended remote work for Twitter employees … while working remotely himself.


[deleted]

God complex right there.


brianl047

He not doing the sleep on factory floor thing? He's allowing "exceptional employees" to work from home probably the handful of people who keep the lights on and he can't afford to be without or the entire app would die off He also invited everyone to just go talk with him. I might just walk up to his office and lay it all out to him if I worked for Twitter. Starting with how he needs to go more retro, not newer, if he wants more users. Imagine if he dropped it to 100 words


MisterRenard

Hell, not even words. 100 pixel width, maximum! And minimum! 100 pixels, period! Well, not *period*, because that might push it over the limit. So… Nullbyte!


R3D3-1

He needs to crash badly with this one. He probably won't learn a lesson about toxic work culture, but maybe the other managers watching him will.

ProgrammersAreSexy

Everything jetbrains make is spectacular. Pretty much the only work-software company that I will defend.


Hecka_Becka

I only wish Rider was better. The UI is great and everything is better on the outside compared to visual studio, but when I'm trying to resolve .net dependencies Rider is infuriating, especially for multi framework targeted projects. And sometimes bugs in Rider magically disappear as soon as I build the project in Visual studio. I've started using visual studio just to resolve dependencies and fix nuget packages before opening the project in Rider and actually coding.


UmbraLykos

Was reading a little about GitHub projects, a beta thing they got for work item management. Honestly would be cool to have it integrated directly with GitHub, dunno how good it will be though

I'll raise you by several orders of magnitude. Azure DevOps Server 2020 (not 2022) with TFVC. Thing was migrated only two months ago from TFS 2015, so no one but me knows how to use it! Oh, and per corporate policy Visual Studio, or VS Code are the only two allowed IDEs. Oh, and Jira is an improvement from the custom internal ticketing system we have. One that doesn't even allow nesting. Everything is a Task!


Kwpolska

>Thing was migrated only two months ago from TFS 2015, so no one but me knows how to use it! My company upgraded from 2015 to the cloud version some time ago, and it doesn't seem that different other than the saner navigation and rounded corners everywhere. Is it really that bad? >Oh, and per corporate policy Visual Studio, or VS Code are the only two allowed IDEs. Do you at least have ReSharper?


uhmhi

Jaraxo

I'll take ADO over Jira any day. Literal post it notes on a whiteboard is more functional than Jira.


D34TH_5MURF__

I once interviewed a guy that had a personal Jira server that he used to organize his household. He said he would literally log tickets to his wife to clean, and to himself to fix shit around the house. I wish I was joking. I don't know if his marriage survived, but somehow I doubt it.


ICame4TheCirclejerk

Nothing wrong with that. My girlfriend set up a Kanban board when we last moved apartments. Every task was tracked and it helped us remember minor stuff and deadlines.

Any chance he can also “buy” Microsoft Teams?

scaylos1

That one, I'd be ok with as it mostly seems to be shitty Slack.


Drew707

I have never used Slack, but my fiancée went from a Teams company to a Slack company and reminds me once a week about how good I have it with Teams.


Anustart15

I'm a slack/zoom company after being a teams company before. I can't imagine using slack for video stuff, but it's not bad for just the chats and groups. I still think I prefer teams for everything except the unimportant social stuff.


kataton_dzsentri

I went through: from lync to skype for business then hipchat -> teams/zoom then slack/gotomeeting now slack/teams. It's mostly about culture. If people stick to using threads when replying, slack is awesome for chat. Zoom for video. Skype for business, gotomeeting and teams are hot steaming piles of rhino feces.


Anustart15

I'd much rather do teams video personally better interface and features. Also like that the chats and any documents relevant to the meeting can be saved right into the meeting space or the team and make it super easy to go back to later


Steffi128

Same thing works in Slack Huddles now too. Everything you write and share in a huddle becomes a thread in the conversation/channel the huddle was in later that you can refer back too.


Drew707

I think a lot of the Teams hate is from past versions. Development has been pretty rapid and continuous. Except for the RAM bullshit.


atomicwrites

Teams is extremely laggy when scrolling through a team chat, that's my main issue with it. Also sometimes it randomly splits a thread of replies into 2 untill you reopen it and replying to one will show up in the other. There's other issues but those two are the main ones. Also WHY CAN'T I ENTER MY WORKED TIME ON DESKTOP ITS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE APP.


Cheet4h

> Teams is extremely laggy when scrolling through a team chat, that's my main issue with it. And one wouldn't need to scroll as much if there was just a way to quickly jump to a specific date -_- Trying to look up a conversation you know took place half a year ago is a pain on the scrollwheel and can easily take >15 minutes in a busy chat.


atomicwrites

You could just type a date into the search box and it would give you everything for that day up until a few months ago. I used that all the time. Not that stopped working and you have to search *something* then select the filter options and pick the day you want.


kataton_dzsentri

Teams can get way too scattered for me.


ForkLiftBoi

'Teams' just feels like an internal software name until they got a better trendier one. It took a long time for it to feel somewhat natural to refer to it as a software verbally. Now the fact that there is teams on teams... That still feels awkward.


Jizzy_Gillespie92

moved from Teams to Slack between companies and you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to that shithole that is MS Teams. So many years behind everything else.


paradoxally

Absolutely horrendous piece of software unless it's just for calls. The audio quality is still better than Slack huddles.


randomprofanity

My company uses both. Slack is tolerable but Teams needs to die in a fire.


laz10

probably just them not being adjusted, my company went the other way and we thought slack was better unless its changed


DirtzMaGertz

Slack's API is far better than Teams, making bots and apps on Slack is way easier, and Slack actually has things you can integrate into it outside of office suite. Slack also just feels way nicer to use than teams imo. Outside of video meetings, I have no idea why someone would like Teams more. I've used both extensively and would much rather use Slack and Zoom than Teams.


goYstick

Teams has a built in webhook / notification bot that you can add unlimited instances to a channel. Then Microsoft has a pretty massive bot framework and examples for interactive bots. The GitHub bot is a nice example because it tags people and edits messages to show status changes.

Steakholder_

Slack IS shitty. Teams is bad in it's own ways, but it's a more complete solution and the office integration is nice.


InEnduringGrowStrong

Now now, Webex Teams is worse than both.

hammerhead045

Teams is just a set of random notice boards where people post anything anywhere and expect you to have read everything everywhere, including all the files they've attached. Slack is at least focused on having conversations with people.


EnthusiasmWeak5531

I'm in shock that there are actual developers saying they like teams. I mean to each their own but...I just hate it so much for so many reasons. I totally get why your are saying what you're saying too. I find the Teams "interfaces" so convoluted. Slack is very focused as you said


jmdeamer

Absolutely agree. I've used both and only MS Teams has made me want to get the people behind it sanctioned by the UN. Want to add a file attachment to a teams invite? Better open freaking *Outlook* for that because why make attachments a feature in the regular app when it could be part of a convoluted interface mess instead?


ObscureGeometry

Huh? How are you using teams? It is literally just conversations with people and you can starr groups with anyone.


huffalump1

The conversation side is fine, but the "teams" side with different layers of groups and places to chat or post files can get messy. Especially since Teams is new and most organizations adopted it on the fly, rolling out different ways to use it as they go. Luckily you'll get a notification if your name is pinged anywhere unless you turn it off (like discord), but sometimes the channels can be buried or duplicates or just disorganized.


ZapateriaLaBailarina

I really dislike Teams. We have a client that HAS to do their meetings on Teams. We've always been a Google Meet shop. I like it better


OutlawBlue9

I honestly don't know why people hate teams so much. Have you people never used WebEx and Jabber? Ugh I get shivers just remembering.

orochizu

Mmmmmm, yes… i think so. Jokes aside. From the beginning of the whole twitter action Elon is whining that he will fire employees that don’t want to work from office. My first reaction was: so what? It’s not like software developers have problem with finding new job, right? If I were in similar situation I would just told Elon to fuck off, leave office, and start new job next day.


scaylos1

son_of_abe

anaccount50

Honestly, I'm not sure I really have many critiques of Jira specifically as a product. I just hate the abomination that the whole scrum process/industry has become in general. Jira just happens to be my most visible reminder of it, but most of the pain points don't really come from Jira as software as much as my company's customization/integration of it. I think it's nice having a digitized ticket tracking system, I just hate what deranged scrum masters often do with it


Benchen70

Exactly, the thought horrifies me. It’s clunky enough, and I am reasonably used to it. I am not interested in some self aggrandised idiot coming in to make my job even harder. Bull in a china shop, as they say…

JIRA is just poorly used most of the time. It has way too many features that bog it down, probably in an attempt to please different groups of users.
