Well the real issue for me is not the tool but the implied culture. I’ve worked at places that track time in Jira and for the first 3 months it’s fine, then manager dive into reports and i get pulled into a room for being too slow. Now I have to take shortcuts and think about maintainability less and write shite code. Then I leave. Employee churn is not great for teams. Churning thoughtful developers and keeping the “fast” ones is definitely bad for velocity but you’ll never notice. I’d say let this tool be a warning to all devs: what will you do to skill up so you don’t need to work for companies that track your time on the shitter.
