Developing software can't simply be done with a text editor and a compiler. There are a variety of other tools we have to bring to bear that support our efforts and keep the team organized, like say, source control.

There are certain tools we all have to use that I would argue, nobody has actually make a version that's any good. Build tooling is one of my go-to examples: there are no good build systems, only build systems that are good enough for this task.

Another is ticket/task management. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, there are no good ticket management tools. Amongst the not good tools, I'd put Jira as one of the not goodest of all.

What makes Jira attractive to companies is the same thing that makes it miserable, and the thing that infects any "enterprise" software platform and turns it into garbage: it has all the features and expect you to build your own workflows with it. You don't merely use Jira, you have to program your own interfaces in Jira to get your workflow into the system. And if you have the misfortune to have a project manager who thinks they're more technical than they are, they'll endlessly spin up new views, new workflows, and rearrange how the work is tracked in lieu of actually working.

I've been on that team.

One of Jira's features is the ability to describe the ticket workflow: the state machine that describes your process from the initial entry of the ticket all the way down to released software or project completion. This includes routing, so that as one team member does their part of the work, it automatically goes to someone else to do the next portion of the work.

Which brings us to Klinsten. They were working on a new team, and wanted to change the ticket status from its current status to whatever came next in the workflow. So they looked at the workflow.

These are two different versions of the same workflow, one with transition labels added, which as you can see, does nothing to clarify the workflow. That it's a mix of Dutch and English doesn't help matters.

The purpose of this workflow is to help the team understand how to sequence and organize their work. But this workflow has so many states and so many transitions, it fails at this goal. Looking at it makes me just want to gesloten my browser tab, because this user isn't accepting any of this.

"Epic Games has confirmed that it is working on a Linux version of its storefront, potentially removing the need for third-party launchers on platforms such as Steam Deck," reports PC Guide: The confirmation came during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on the Epic Games Store's community Discord server. When a user asked whether Epic had any plans for a Linux version of its launcher, an Epic staff member confirmed that it is coming "soon(TM)" in emoji form. Of course, that is far from confirming any kind of date, but it is official confirmation of a Linux version nonetheless. "On top of that, Nvidia's GeForce Now [cloud gaming] app for Linux is also official, having emerged from beta," writes TechRadar, calling it all part of "a rosier future for Linux gamers." And while it's not related to gaming, OpenAI's ["preview"] release of a ChatGPT app for Linux is another milestone for the platform... OpenAI said: "Linux has been one of the most-requested platforms for the desktop app, and this launch extends ChatGPT and Codex across every major desktop operating system." The Epic Games Store arriving natively is great news for gamers running Linux — including SteamOS — as it means a much more convenient way of playing games from the store, as opposed to the current situation with fudging and workarounds (using a third-party app such as the Heroic Games Launcher)... Epic's own Fortnite doesn't work on Linux (and that's down to Epic actively blocking the game from running due to issues around cheating, which remains a source of controversy). Given the apparent changing attitude here with its launcher being ported over, maybe Epic will reverse course on Fortnite eventually. Some gamers on Reddit are highly skeptical about that possibility though, and as one doubting Redditor put it: "I wouldn't hold my breath."
