Missing Documentation
Meetings that should have been an emai
misused JIRA

Plus, depending on the client:

restricted environments (proxies, VPNs, ...) that just standing in the way rather than provide extra security

I'm curious about specifics regarding misued JIRA.

Well, I've seen any sorts of this in the wild:

Tickets are not really tickets, but a trash can for ideas
Overcomplicated workflow configuration
Tickets referencing documents elsewhere ("I've posted that in slack" - "sure you did, but when and where?")
misconfigured integrations with deployment pipelines
...

I'm curious about the restricted environments. What specific issues have you run into? Are they all client-side?

Back, head and wrist.

Undocumented code
Unclear priorities
Dealing with non technical problems like burocracy or users that don't read the manual

Jonathan Apodaca • May 12 '22

Not prioritizing developer experience
Premature optimization
Code that is not strongly typed

Bio Freeze... Spray it on pain is gone!! Its magic(I should trade mark that lol)... This is obviously a quick fix and doesn't cure the root issue... sitting in the same position for hours on end.. you have to move and stretch

To be honest, I know very well what health problems are. My joints and muscles often hurt. So I started looking for something that could help me and came across cbd roll on 1000mg and started using this product and it really helps me. So, read the article and try this hemp CBD oil. I think things will get better.
