That sucks, but how the fuck does Atlassian have 16,000 workers to begin with? What do they all do? And their products look like… Guestures at all of them
They are the ones in charge of making sure bitbucket stops working every other Thursday.
You’ve got an extra digit there
You could save a LOT of money by replacing the execs with AI.
You can save even more money by shutting down Atlassian and all its trash products
Their products are utter garbage to begin with, this can only hasten their well-deserved demise.
I don’t think AI needs collaboration and project management software. Good luck with that future.
“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.
Best time to create AI free alternatives for those products.
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
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.
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
I agree. However we are feeding it not through the data, but through $, subscriptions and data minng.
We have a choice to renounce the subscription to meta, OpenAi, yet we dont.
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
At least 100 of those employees implemented the feature to autocorrect JIRA to Jira, just to be haughty insufferable ass.
Who else is going to put the sidebar as top bar, and then switch them back a couple years later?
AI-washing layoffs. They will replace jack shit with AI but that’s a better story than “we have to reduce costs because we don’t have cheap ways to refinance our $1B debt”.
Credit isn’t cheap and Iran is not going to make it cheaper, investments in software have tanked, so the only story that can still be told with an almost straight face is that they still have big growth opportunities thanks to the magic of AI.
Yet they can sponsor an F1 team.
Of all the shitty AI products flooding the market right now, Atlassian’s Rovo has got to be the most useless I’ve had the misfortune of using.
They should be hiring more workers to fix their AI slop, not replacing them with even more of it.
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.
Atlassian now circling the drain.
I hope they will go down the drain. No more Jira! 🙏
What would you use instead?
Nothing. I really hate the agile thing anyway.
