Recently a flurry of changes happened at $job, including that we must track time spent on tasks.
I've never had to do that at salary programming jobs before... So not a fan.

How does time tracking even work? Do you manually say "I worked X amount of hours on task Y"?
If you're a contractor, then I understand as the client has to billed, but otherwise... wasn't a fan either.
@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
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?
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.
