Hey ,Demo day. Claude Code knocked out a backend migration in two days—so the team pulled in more work to fill the sprint. Cleaner APIs, better abstractions. Might as well use the time.Then the product manager asked: "What can users do now that they...

Hey there 👋,Quick question: How many times today did you switch from your editor to your browser just to update an attachment in Jira?If you're like most developers I talk to, it's probably too many.Update a screenshot? Browser.Fix a diagram? Browse...
The Problem: You're deep in flow. You need to update a screenshot in a Jira issue. Now you have to: Stop what you're doing Find the issue in your browser (which tab was it?) Scroll to attachments Upload the new version Delete the old version Try...
Hi ,I spent 27 minutes this week refactoring imdone-cli commands to follow Git conventions.The technical work? Easy.The hard part? Teaching Claude Code about Test-Driven Development.It went exactly like teaching a junior developer:Me: "Write tests fi...
Every week, I run small experiments with context-driven development (CDD), AI tools, and imdone-cli - a tool I built that keeps your backlog right in your source code so you never lose context. This week, I'm putting Claude Code to the test on a cri...
TL;DR: In Jira, Status and Resolution are different fields. Depending on your workflow, Jira may prompt you for a resolution… or it may not. That’s how teams end up with issues that are Done but still Unresolved. I shipped a small fix in imdone-cli...

Hey, Jesse here with a super quick update.I ran the $9/mo personal plan experiment last week to see if price was stopping individual developers from trying imdone.The results were small but clear: a couple new customers signed up almost immediately,...
Last week I ran a small pricing experiment for imdone-cli and imdone desktop and told my list I’d share the results. These are the lab notes. If you just want the punchline: Dropping the solo price from $18 to $9 helped, but the real problems are...
Hey folks 👋 — short post. I've been working on imdone-cli and imdone desktop, workflow tools that let you manage Jira issues as markdown files directly in your project repo. A lot of developers have checked out the pricing page lately, but no on...

"I was recently talking to a very experienced, very senior person in game development and I asked them, 'How would you make all of game development better?' and they said 'delete every Jira instance across gamedev.'" — Benjamin Carcich Th...
