Jira is a 20 years old piece of software. I'm sure today's engineers do their best with the constraints they have. And I'm sure the 2002 engineers did their best with this period's assumptions and solutions.

I hate Jira as a product, but please don't attack people like that, have you never had to work on a product you're not 100% satisfied with? :/

I stand by what I said.

>I’m sure todays engineers do their best with the constraints they have.

There are two real constraints in the software engineering world: time and money (especially when we’re talking about an issue tracker, a wiki and a repo + CI\CD pipeline).

That Jira and confluences performance remains … not very good, suggests that the engineers are unwilling to, or unable to advocate for, spending the time and money to address this.

Hasn't Jira been rewritten from scratch a few years ago?
