    Are Most Project Management Tools Too Bloated? Validating a Lean Alternative — Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    JIRA is not great for large organizations. It's generally locked down by someone in IT. So you are stuck with whatever they came up with to be effective for you. I contract for large organizations and find JIRA extremely bloated and ineffective. I often find myself signing up for an account...

    Everyone is talking about AAAS instead of SAAS, what do you think the future is going for this?

    IDEA

    Everyone is talking about AAAS instead of SAAS, what do you think the future is going for this?

    IDEA 
    Two points: 1- Claude does a so-so job of querying databases. Now. But what about in 1-2 years time? Also debatable if they do a so-so job now.
