Yeah our corporate machines won't run any external media. I assumed that was standard practice.

Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing about vim/unix.

Let's give it a shot. I live in the suburbs of Lincoln, Nebraska, which is an average-sized college town in the US (about 300k residents):

• Nearest convenience store: 1.1 miles/1.7km (we often do walk there, takes about 20 minutes)
• Nearest chain supermarket/big supermarket (they are often one in the same here): Target @ 1.5 miles/2.4km
• Bus stop: 1.3 miles/2.1km
• Nearest park: 0.6 miles/965m
• Nearest public library: 3.5 miles/5.6km
• Nearest train station: 9.1 miles/14.6km (we don't really use trains much at all in the US, though)

I'm sure it's fine for small-scale usage, but overall it's extremely inflexible and doesn't really scale well at all. There's also a lot of very basic functionality that's straight up missing. For example, there's no way to have a global epic priority. You can rearrange epics in an epic board, but the ordering of the epics there is not persisted elsewhere. There were many, many other shortcomings we kept running into.

Oh, and after a lot of our tickets had been imported (which itself was a huge undertaking since the auto import tools are complete trash), it started to be very slow. It feels like a very unfinished, unpolished product.

We use Gitlab's CI/CD features extensively at my current job and it's very, very nice. That's what they are actually good at, not project management.

I also wonder if people complaining about Jira are still on Jira Server. Jira Cloud is a much nicer experience. Certainly not perfect, but I've yet to see an actual viable alternative (once worked someplace that tried to move all project management to Gitlab... 🤮).

Uh, there are an absolute fuckload of Java libs out there with nothing more than auto-generated garbage Javadocs.

I dunno, plenty of those sound pretty reasonable.

I'm a senior software engineer with a pretty uncommon skill set. Recruiters are the primary way that companies hire in my industry outside of networking contacts and I get contacted frequently. The job before my current one was through a recruiter.

I very much dislike Microsoft and LinkedIn in general, but not using it all is a huge handicap that isn't worth taking on.

It's how recruiters find me, so unfortunately I can't. I almost never open it, though.

Obviously there's a small handful of things that would require a reboot, but unlike Windows, the vast majority of programs in user space don't require reboots on update.

There's also the fact that restarting Windows to update is a much slower and more disruptive experience than restarting Linux.

Yeah, this person posts a lot and is weirdly consistent in how much they fuck up post titles.

It really has nothing to do with whether or not they can have sex. That's just a pretense for really fucked up ideas about sex, relationships, and women as a whole.
