Oh you sweet summer child. Have you seen Rational Team Concert?

It's the best I've ever used, so take that for what you will Action Remedy System was...something.

Although ive found that Jira and Confluence Cloud madr dozens and dozens of bad decisions and regressions over the oon-prem version.

Bruh, have you used Jira recently? We tried GitHub recently and that was so much bloat, especially hated by our devs.

I had a boss who wrote a script to automatically remove all comments from code for pull requests. Since nobody ever added meaningful comments to their commits (or made any contributions at all to the alleged documentation), the code base was a complete mystery to the people who were actually working on it. God knows what it seemed like to new developers added to the project. But hey, comments are a "code smell" (his exact words) so it was all good.

His primary justification of his "comments bad" philosophy was that if comments aren't kept up-to-date with the code, they can mislead and confuse future developers. This gets said a lot but it is something that I have literally never seen in 25 years of programming (I've witnessed -- and participated in -- a large number of project failures, and misleading comments have never been the cause of the failure). I pointed out that the same exact thing could be said about method and variable names but nobody ever advocates not using descriptive method and variable names; he had no response to this.

I inject an entire set of CSS rules into Jira and into Confluence 🫠
