BitBucket also hides labels by default: https://i.imgur.com/2OQxliT.png

One sorry soul at my work hadn't realised you can expand the sidebar to reveal the labels. Watching him trying to find everything was quite amusing

Atlassian is the king of indecipherable symbols. My JIRA navigation strategies are:

- Hover over each symbol one-by-one until tooltip shows itself (sometimes takes multiple tries); or

- Google "how to find X in JIRA"

I manage to come away feeling like an idiot every time I open JIRA. I just typed out a typical internal monologue while using it, and deleted it because I'm embarrassed by it.

My brain cannot tell the difference between the Jira and confluence favicons. I am forever clicking on the wrong browser tab.

Remember when they redesigned them to look more like each other? That was great.

It was really tremendous. Truly a Day among days.

I think the symbol that looks like a nut with the threaded hole off centre is the "Google how to find X in JIRA" icon.

(No, not the "Tests" icon, its got the hole slightly off centre to the left. Or the "Calendar" icon, its fo the hole slightly off centre to the upper left.)
