Always excited to see new takes on developer tooling. https://conveyor.com/ , from my buddies at Wildbit, is an interesting one; it situates the deeply technical git integration in the social reality of a software team rather than bolting the software team onto Git hosting.

But there are a lot of things which are machine readable, like say binaries, which you would in most cases not want humans to be reasoning over. And I'm getting to the point where I think source code is not the thing to reason about, not really.

But because our source code is the one part of the puzzle that we have relatively developed tooling for, reason about the source code we do, heedless of the iceberg beneath it that we have an impoverished ability to reason about and which we lack a vocabulary to describe.

Another micro-heresy: I don't think people hate JIRA because JIRA is bad software. I think people hate JIRA because JIRA is fundamentally the wrong abstraction for The Work but because it's the most developed non-code abstraction The Work happens in it.

Not merely not? SO are they the right abstraction or the wrong abstraction?

They're the wrong abstraction and they're not even abstracting the right thing. The right thing, and I'm not sure I can succinctly define it other than "the system which ships software", produces code and empty LaCroix bottles, those facts being of roughly similar salience.
