I switched from Windows to Mac over a decade ago and never looked back. Working in software engineering at startups I always had Macs. I recently joined a larger company that is all Microsoft. I’m seriously burned out on having to use a Windows laptop and Windows software again. It’s just so kludgy and inefficient. I never really realized how bad it was until now.

I felt that same way when I started using MacOS for work, but got used to it.

The fact that there's no way to snap windows to a side of the screen without manually moving the window and resizing it is absurd. I have programs that allow me to do it, but like come on.

Also I still despise how fullscreen on MacOS works. It's so obnoxious.

Me too. I got a MacBook for testing Safari, but sometimes I take it to meetings because it's easier than extricating my usual machine from its dock (which unplugs the Ethernet cable so all my SSH sessions die along with anything running in them). But as somebody who likes having things in full screen (it bothers me if I can see the desktop peeking through), I get very annoyed needing to scroll through every app I've got open until I stumble across the one I want every time I have to switch context.

@onlinepersona to show gratitude to software creators? To support them and to be sure the software will be maintained for years?

Jira

oh Jira isn't that bad

[-] tehciolo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe. I guess I hate the idea behind Jira more than Jira itself. I call it middle management driven Agile.

Also doesn't help that Jira (and Confluence) were fucking slow for a long while. Nobody wants to use slow software as an integral part of the dev chain.

What would you use/accept instead?

[-] tehciolo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Anything simple. I'm using Linear at my current job, which is fine. I've used Trello in the past, also fine. Best experience so far was using the GitLab issue tracker, but it as not a product team so YMMV.

Being paid.
