A survey shows that the ten most hated productivity tools by engineers last year include JIRA, AWS, and Windows. But why? (Background: Will AI eliminate engineers in Hsinchu Science Park? Jensen Huang claims 'robots will replace thousands of employees': Eight Taiwanese companies are implementing optimizations) (Additional context: AI unicorn Builder.ai has gone bankrupt! Despite impressive investments from Microsoft, Amazon, etc., they used outsourced engineers to falsely claim 'automatically writing apps') The renowned newsletter The Pragmatic Engineer conducted a survey ranking the 'Top Ten Most Hated Productivity Tools' among 30,000 software engineers worldwide. These services or software were originally intended to enhance efficiency but have now been labeled as slowing project progress. Let's break them down one by one. Most hated: JIRA - The interface is complicated with many layers and slow loading speeds, and it is used by management to monitor subordinates, forcing engineers to spend time updating tickets instead of coding. Second place: Microsoft Teams - Frequent crashes and delays in notifications disrupt team communication, as one must wait for the software to 'self-repair' before initiating video calls. Third place: Confluence - Pages load like a marathon, search results are inaccurate, turning the document knowledge base into a maze. Fourth place: Jenkins - The interaction of plugins is complex, and upgrades feel like defusing a bomb. The outdated UI design leaves newcomers confused. Fifth place: Azure DevOps - Code reviews are manageable in small teams, but large PRs cause bottlenecks. There is a lack of real-time static analysis, and security scanning relies on plugins. Sixth place: AWS - The billing and service interface design is overly layered, and there have been incidents of data loss over ten years; AI command execution can sometimes be chaotic. Seventh place: Bitbucket - Large repositories load slowly and the UI is cluttered. During outages, users can only wait for Atlassian announcements. Eighth place: Xcode - Project settings are lengthy, and the CI environment often prompts 'missing classname for isa key'. The same code runs locally but fails in the cloud. Ninth place: GitHub Actions - Complex workflows often take 25 minutes to run, and usage limits frequently cut continuous integration into segments. GitHub officially reminds: Developers need to control the merge button. Tenth place: Windows - Update times are uncontrollable, and compatibility issues occasionally arise after completion; performance degrades over long-term use, forcing developers to reboot as a solution. After reviewing the list, do you agree? Is there an engineer who can share their own experiences? Related reports: Wall Street's first non-human employee! Goldman Sachs hires AI engineer Devin, whose 'work efficiency exceeds four times' and can collaborate with 12,000 developers simultaneously. Elon Musk's DOGE genius engineer Edward Coristine has left; is Trump's financial reform a failure? 'The 10 Most Hated Productivity Tools by Engineers: JIRA Tops the List, Windows at Number 10' was first published in BlockTempo (the most influential blockchain news media).
