In Jira, changing an issue summary has no save button - but does require clicking off of it before closing the issue modal or the change is lost. While with issue details, there’s a save button.

Imposter syndrome is uncomfortable, but I accept it in myself and I use it to fuel my learning, community with others, and to continuously improve. #ImposterSyndrome #PersonalGrowth #LeadershipForum #ContinuousImprovement
I get to pretend to be a grown up in NYC. That is — a grown up who doesn’t feel it some of the time but can muster a good impression most of the time.
I’m attending From Me to We: Advancing Conscious Leadership to Tackle Today’s Challenges. Would you like to attend?
Working in as a supporting product person for one of our clients. First client billing in a while. First individual contribution in a while. Approaching it with no ego but pretty deep confidence in my decades of experience however rusty the last four years have made me.
