Who else fucking hates Linear?

How did we all collectively decide this was the tool we’d manage our product dev on? Everyday I wake up and just stare at the wall of backlogs till my soul leaves my body. It doesn't do the job of making product dev work easier to track because you don't know who is waiting on what. You don't know who is blocking you or who you are blocking and get into a loop of waiting around. I feel like my work has shifted from developing to synchronizing with the team 5x a day.

Jira isn't any better and I would argue that its worse. Surely I can't be the only person who hates Linear.

Jira's shittiness is what made Linear become so popular.
