I fully agree that the problem is the "JIRA mentality". Specifically, that a developer should be managed with a task list instead of giving them roles/responsibilities in the organization and letting manage the tasks themselves. Sadly, almost all project management tools fall into this trap. A whole different type of tool is necessary to get us out of this rut.

The irony is that I always had my own task list that I kept in parallel to Jira that allowed me to break a Jira issue down into subtasks, subsubtasks, down to any depth of n(sub)-tasks. The best part was that there was no "process" for my task list. It was always just TODO and DONE. Nobody had to review my list or approve it and I could delete and add entries as needed with zero friction.
