I’m a dev and have not heard good things but I’m hoping the negative reputation is an exaggeration.

    I'm at the end stage of Jira mentality which about 6 years ago started as self run agile teams using it for tracking to help with estimates and organise teams.

    Now we're running a skeleton crew where my daily job which was once software engineering is now ticket engineering with 9-5 meetings every day and micromanagement of a degree I'd expect from a factory line where all i do is write tickets for faceless offshore contractors i won't ever meet who work on those tickets.

    It's very dependent on the actual culture of your workplace for a few places I've worked at it didn't really change anything but it can get really bad if the powers that be figure out how to use it as a cudgel to wring you dry.
