Quite disappointed in him. Always thought he was a reasonable character but using e-mail is such a slap in the face.
You could save a LOT of money by replacing the execs with AI.
It better yet, replace them with nothing at all.
You can save even more money by shutting down Atlassian and all its trash products
Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.
I don’t think AI needs collaboration and project management software. Good luck with that future.
Their products are utter garbage to begin with, this can only hasten their well-deserved demise.
“Uh, we need you to clear out your desk ASAP.”
“Sure, just submit a JIRA ticket and I’ll get right on it.”AI will have a scrum with itself.
Somehow, HR processes are always exempt from the ticketing process.
And yet oddly (and predictably, and likely disastrously, etc. -) some HR departments are among the very first to glibly upload their (our) everything’s into constantly shifting unreliable AI “products”. Not speaking hypothetically 😐
Funny stuff, that.
Because the people who work in HR spent their educational years avoiding anything technical.
Agreed, but we should include studying the precise wrong things, meaning conclusions drawn about how the world works - and with their own charming dedication, if describing how that time is spent.
Mustn’t forget HR typically is quite competent, just not at things we easily identify (because that’s an inherent component of their competence).
that’s because they don’t want you to know when you’re getting fired.
I used to watch the category for decoms that had keywords in the subject line. someone from HR found out somehow (loose lips probably) and they stopped making tickets entirely.
it’s a shame really. I had a really awesome script watching the same criteria for my name 🤣. nothing heinous, just some farewell messages and dirty laundry.
Good, WWIII needs some meat puppets.
“AI is too dumb to take our jobs” as if that matters. that’s not even the point, the point of Generative AI is to mine data and devalue human labour. according to the like 120 people who run this world too many people are making too much money so now we have a dogshit “technology” made to cut your wages whenever it’s convenient.
Atlassian is getting thrashed in the stockmarket and they’re using AI as a get out of jail free card to conduct massive layoffs.
Its too bad that in the end they are just making forgettable tools that jira aside already have extensive competition, that actually feel built for enterprise vs the garbage atlassian is making.
If it wasn’t for the army of agile cultists who claim that work is impossible without Jira they’d probably already be a much smaller company.
Yet everyone helps feed this AI beast. No one thinks… Maybe I’m helping this through my data.
this post helps to feed the AI beast
there’s no escaping it; let’s not do with AI what we’ve done with CO2 and plastic and shift blame to individuals
It’s not because of their garbage AI. It’s because their garbage AI is leading to people dropping them like a bad habit for open source and fucking Microsoft alternatives, so they need to reduce operating costs and CAPEX to demonstrate profit growth
I’m amazed they had 1600 employees to begin with. I guess it takes a lot of resources to make something suck as hard as JIRA
3 coders and 1597 managers.
They renamed “project” to “space”, so that it’s harder to find what you are looking for.
They renamed “ticket” to “work item” to “issue”. (We all still call it a ticket)
Stories? Events? Kanban?
Fuck you, I need a text box, date field and some box to tick that says I’m done.
All this so that some VP with their thumb up their ass who spends 2/3 of the year in Florida knows I’m working!
Who else is going to put the sidebar as top bar, and then switch them back a couple years later?
At least 100 of those employees implemented the feature to autocorrect JIRA to Jira, just to be haughty insufferable ass.
The irony is that I typed JIRA in lowercase and my phone autocorrected it to JIRA
We have https://codeberg.org/ as an alternative to Bitbucket, and you can have free public static pages like Netlify or Github pages.
Codeberg also offers private repos.
Codeberg also offers private repos.
Sometimes, we do tolerate repositories that are not licensed optimally (e.g. due to historic reasons dating back decades).
Depending on how you read the FAQ entry, they may not explicitly talk about private non-commercial content, though.
There is a Jira ticket (ID-240) for Atlassian requesting the ability to merge Atlassian accounts that is over 10 years old. I’m one of the 1,450 watchers. This news does not bode well for this ticket ever getting implemented.
Hodgepodge.
AI will vibecode that into production in a week. And to make it all easier…it’ll have merged your account with 10 competitors too so you know what they’re working on!
well the good part is you don’t need to merge those accounts anymore
They will rehire for less. The AI hype is just a wage suppression scheme.
My employer has been axing so many high level engineers it’s not even funny. I think that’s terrible for engineer morale. Why would you want to strive to improve and get promoted if it just makes you “too expensive to keep on payroll”?
We need more tech unions and tech coops.
Guillotines we need more guillotines
We need to organize a proper rebellion before we get to guillotines and starting with unions is a place to work from.
Nah. bring out the guillotines and see how it goes.

Add this on top of federal layoffs, inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates (I know they’re necessary sometimes), etc. The average American is getting screwed right now.
Best time to create AI free alternatives for those products.
It was always a good time to create alternatives to Atlassian products.
TBH Atlassian was already such terrible slop, unsupervised AI might even make it better
