When the product manager rolls in to open a JIRA ticket
When the product manager rolls in to open a JIRA ticket

Probably needs it to run teams…
-
And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager's device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It's an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business "cares" about excellence 😉
-
I didn't ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.
As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.
-
I still laugh about the time a company I worked for bought all the mobile devs less powerful laptops, and then they didn’t have enough storage to install Android studio.

It's only ok if it's a T480 running Arch.
-
T470 here (the anniversary model). I'll part with it when someone takes it from my cold, dead body.

I mean, you do need a powerful machine to be able to use jira

Like.. a brain?

Let's not get carried away now

I recently had my title changed to appease me and its now "IT Project Manager". I have never been so livid in my life.
-
Place I worked previously did this with Think pads - didn't matter if you primarily used an email client or an IDE, you got the same 32GB RAM/i7/512GB NVMe. They were big enough to be ordering new laptops 50 at a time, and the overhead of having to manage different pools for swaps when things needed fixing or for upgrades wasn't worth it. It only needed to save something like a billable hour a year over the book life of the laptop for it to be worth it
-
Meanwhile the dev gets an i5.
Can't really complain on an i7 with 32 GiB though, but had to struggle for those extra 16 GiB and to get an 1TB SSD.-
The best devs have just enough resources to open emacs and slime

vimbut i use VMs all the time and have to tolerate Windows.

Sorry, but he's driving up to a mcdonalds, not a festering heap of shit. Fix your meme.

Yes, JIRA is the worst issue tracker, except for all the others.

-
Have you used Jira? It's a memory guzzler
-
I wish it was the heaviest thing I dealt with. It is big but my God, (mandatory) Microsoft apps, particularly Teams and Outlook, make that look small in comparison
-
It's memory and Javascript usage helped my company transition away from IE (to Chrome 🤷♂), so at least it was good for something.

I've tried to

-
I've got an older MacBook Pro with i7 and 32gb ram and I can barely use Jira it's so laggy and slow to do anything. M2 Max is probably it's minimum requirement, it's so god damn shit.
-
Jira is so badly performing I make Jonathan Blow signature rants about the state of software whenever I use it.
-
What I would do to have my own Sherp though. That vehicle is amazing.

dem figma picture get real big these days
