Probably needs it to run teams…

You guys don’t understand how hard it is to be a pm.

Jira changed “issues” to “work items” and to recover from that trauma I took another two weeks off.

And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager's device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It's an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business "cares" about excellence 😉

I mean, you do need a powerful machine to be able to use jira

I recently had my title changed to appease me and its now "IT Project Manager". I have never been so livid in my life.

Place I worked previously did this with Think pads - didn't matter if you primarily used an email client or an IDE, you got the same 32GB RAM/i7/512GB NVMe. They were big enough to be ordering new laptops 50 at a time, and the overhead of having to manage different pools for swaps when things needed fixing or for upgrades wasn't worth it. It only needed to save something like a billable hour a year over the book life of the laptop for it to be worth it

Meanwhile the dev gets an i5.
Can't really complain on an i7 with 32 GiB though, but had to struggle for those extra 16 GiB and to get an 1TB SSD.

Sorry, but he's driving up to a mcdonalds, not a festering heap of shit. Fix your meme.

Have you used Jira? It's a memory guzzler

I've got an older MacBook Pro with i7 and 32gb ram and I can barely use Jira it's so laggy and slow to do anything. M2 Max is probably it's minimum requirement, it's so god damn shit.

Jira is so badly performing I make Jonathan Blow signature rants about the state of software whenever I use it.

What I would do to have my own Sherp though. That vehicle is amazing.
