It’s not as simple as that. ‘Talking’ doesn’t create a reference where you can see what’s been done yet, and of course people leave teams or get sick etc. so there are many reasons to want to see what was and wasn’t completed.

On a small enough scale, 'talking' does work. So do post-its etc.

If kotlin2 sticks to those small enough scales, they can indulge their preferences.

Bigger organisations have more and more need for structure.

Very true. My point was that you don’t have to use ticketing as a control mechanism - you can use it however you like and it doesn’t imply distrust. Similarly you can have an overbearing or micromanaging boss whether or not ticketing is used.
