You and OP are missing the point - 8chan was a very social echo chamber. Playing video games, even multiplayer ones, don't have social reinforcement of violet and hateful opinions the way that contributing to an image board with hundreds if not thousands of others sharing and echoing your opinion does. It's dishonest to even suggest they're comparable.

Our team has been pondering a move from Github’s issue tracking and projects to JIRA, and taking a peak at it has given me similar impressions; incredibly powerful but ultimately too large of an app for its own good. The paid integrations are also a frustrating reality to live with.

A tool that all teams involved can effectively work in, or at least every stakeholder from each team can work in. Communication is incredibly vital, and if a tool gets in the way of that, or creates friction in clearly documenting what the next step is, it’s not worth the money or time.

Making lists and restating what is said.

The former helps a lot when trying to make sense out of chaos. Even if I haven’t learned a sense of priority, having that list in front of me makes it an easier path to finding priority. And my rule is always if there isn’t any clear sense of priority, then just pick one and ignore the rest.

The latter helps with every-day communication. Repeating things back that I hear helps me remember them, but also can lead to the person or persons you are communicating with deciding what they said wasn’t what they meant. It seems like a small, and probably annoying task, but the amount of times it’s helped me remember something between my co-workers desk and my own so I can record what we decided, or the times it’s led to a convo going just a little bit longer because something needed additional clarification is worth the annoyance, in my opinion.

Those are some very valid points. In your opinion, does the ease at which defects and/or bugs are found matter? In an environment that I'd hesitate to call agile but we try to be as hands on across the board as possible, should engineers/devs be expected to do very basic and rudimentary testing of a feature outside of a unit test before saying it's ready for QA?

Lucky for you all I can't even

Either you stopped reading or are choosing to ignore what I wrote at the bottom clarifying my point.

My only reply to that would be that I imagine a significant amount of couples met originally at work in what was likely supposed to be a professional environment.

I'm married so I may be ignorant to this, but how often is the hopeless romantic pursuing his love interest perceived as harassment? Thinking back, maybe asking my now-wife multiple times to go out on a date with me and formally be in a relationship despite going away to live with her parents would be seen as harassment. Neither her nor I see it that way though.

I guess my point is I think making the assumption that guys realize they're harassing and not being a try-hard may be where the err is. But I haven't seen that kinda thing in person myself, so I may be way off.

I tested this in their beta for Mac and am now back on Mail.app. After several updates, I continued to suffer from primarily two issues:

1. App would crash in the background and need to be reopened. 2. Emails that had been archived in Gmail still appeared as “incomplete” in Mail Pilot.

Perhaps the latter is product design and not a bug, but regardless, it was frustrating to say the least that emails I had hidden from view on Gmail were still visible in Mail Pilot.

I've used Flipboard in the past, but what I wasn't a fan of was it's lack of organization. It's new "Magazines" feature looks close to what I'm looking for, but not quite, unless I'm missing something.

I don't want to add content to a magazine, but rather feeds. Perhaps I'm overlooking this, but it doesn't appear to let you add, say, your family's different social media accounts spanning all networks into a single magazine. Rather, it lets you add their individual posts into a magazine for reading later. I'd prefer telling Flipboard "Hey, put ALL of this person's individual posts from Facebook, and their Twitter account, and Tumblr, and Instagram, and etc., in this magazine, that also does the same for these other people."

Flipboard is coming mighty close though. Thanks for the tip.
