If you have a large extended family that isn't horribly dysfunctional, estranged, and nobody rememberers who lives where, and you want everyone to stay in contact with each other, it's more efficient than Facebook. You can basically create your own private bubble, with absolute control over what you want your posting rules to be; assign mods, sub-divide members into cliques, all kinds of neat stuff. If you want to probate/ban assholes well think they can skirt the letter of your rules while violating their spirit, you don't have to put up with that bullshit; hit em with the hammer.

Example: A hybrid scientific conference I attended recently used Discord as their virtual interaction tool, with having separate channels for all the virtual posters and talks and giving spaces for a semi-public Q&A. It worked better than previous virtual conference "software solutions" I've seen.

I do almost all my work over Discord because it's easier than Slack or whatever.

Discord's basically what stuff like Skype or MSN Messenger used to be before Microsoft actively drove off its users.

Discord or slack, doesn't matter to me, just gently caress email forever Lots of people still on the "this meeting could have been an email" train and I moved on to "this email could have been 1 line in teams"

would love to know how jira became a thing over the last year or two. how could something so needlessly complicated become so popular? hell, outlook itself is a better ticketing/planning tool and it's bad enough. surely there's some other tool that improves upon outlook but isn't as overwrought as jira?

My experience with JIRA is that you have tasks/tickets/bugs whatever and it's kind of like a forums post where you can add assets discussing it and link to other problems/features and I don't know, I would much rather do that than emails or Slack for everything. Especially if I'm wondering in six months what the hell I was doing.

Jira is only as complicated as you make it, and it's been around for a decade and longer by now?

Most of my mentions in our Research group's Jira are requests for status updates on SNOW tickets. I intend to have people afraid to do that by February at the latest as my NY resolution.

I think most people who resent things like Jira or Slack or Zoom either use them badly or work with people who use them badly. They’re flawed tools that nonetheless are very challenging to replace with dissimilar substitutes

Jira can be a decent ticketing system for teams using agile or scrum methods. Jira can also be an insane asylum run by the inmates where the ticket metadata is more important than the ticket content and KPIs make all decisions but most of them are not accurate measurements of anything.

Yeah, we used to go whole hog on Jira for a while as well, subdividing every new development into cards with estimations and everything. But eventually it turned out that just putting our heads together over a shared google doc and jotting down an outline and some relevant notes worked just as well and took like a tenth of the time. Then again we are a pretty small team, so it might have more utility with more people involved.

Now I just occasionally move a box from one lane to another, maybe add a comment , I no longer mind Jira. It's one of those pieces of software that does so much it's unwieldy unless you have someone who can set it up and lock it down right.

The whole point of the thing is to help give some structure so that things are not forgotten, and to provide a broad overview of where things stand. But you will often find someone who starts to plan and track any minute detail and that inevitably grinds everything to a halt, especially when things don't go to plan. Jira especially seems to be an invasive mind virus that makes people want to spend more time maintaining Jira than doing actual work.

When I first started my job we used whatever awful, awful ticketing system HP had before they bought their new one, so our move to Jira was honestly an upgrade lol. Just have to avoid the PMs who micromanage Jira for a living.

The main problem continues to be middle management desperate not to let anyone realise their jobs don't actually do anything but harass the people doing the actual work.

Electric Phantasm posted:Should have clarified replace Line with Facebook and that's basically my experience trying to get my friend groups and family to use Discord. That just doesn't feel like a good fit for Discord. I think it shines with interest-based communities, where there can be a constant stream of discussion around a unified theme. Using it to replace IRL social networking connections and life updates feels extremely awkward and like it wouldn't satisfy most people's needs. If you want to look at your cousin's vacation pictures or whatever, Discord isn't nearly a good fit as good as Facebook.

Musky doesnt know that inhouse/onsite food is suppose to be for minmaxing work because then wagesslaves then dont waste time on travel and probably still do minor work talk at cafe tables or at their desk. Also makes me think how Tesla's food policy is, like the yellow paint was given to him, but maybe mangagement told him to go stfu wrt to launch?
