Not to be snarky or anything, but isnt't that how they were always intended to be used? At least in each and every single job I had, that's how tickets were always used.
- simonw 6y agoUntil recently I used them like that for collaborative projects with other people, but not for personal projects where I was the only participant.
- rualca 6y agoI still don't get it. Keeping a public worklog is intended to help other people, not yourself. That's why you're keeping your logs public, not in your personal engineering notebook. You post stuff in the ticket to make that stuff public, and keep it public, and allow others to see and query it.
- simonw 6y agoMy personal engineering notebook IS my public issues now, for all of my open source projects (which is almost all of my projects).
