Enterprise Agile environments are undeniably slow. Developers easily spend 30% of their day just reading Jira tickets, interpreting scattered requirements, searching for the right database dumps, and manually spinning up Lando or Docker environments before writing a single line of code.

I needed to get data out of Jira. Not just the title, but the full description, comments, and all attachments, packaged neatly for use in other scripts. The official way involves wrestling with an API that feels like it was designed by a committee that never spoke to each other. The unofficial way involves paying $20/month for a SaaS tool that is just a glorified curl command wrapped in a pretty dashboard. I chose the third way: build it myself.
