When I got my first job reporting to a non-technical executive and had authority to pick the PM tool, I thought this was my chance to find the Tool That Didn't Suck. Going down that rabbit hole led me to the sad truth that it'll be impossible to make a project management tool that the engineer likes until the engineer stops perceiving project management data entry as busy work. Finding a new tool ameliorates this until the novelty of working in a new UI has worn off.

Engineers are an autonomous bunch, and the best coders among us despise doing anything that isn't actually writing code. Unfortunately, like doc writing, there is more to being a good engineer than writing code.
