Yeah, it definitely used to be pretty bad. But to be fair, it’s gotten better over the past few weeks.

I was at Atlassian during the OpsGenie acquisition and part of that process. Honestly, the biggest surprise to me was how long it took to shut down OpsGenie as a standalone product…

It’s a tricky balance. It would be easy for Atlassian to add settings. But every setting adds complexity. And I think we can all agree that we don’t want Jira to be more complex. I…

Once you host your videos with Loom and link them everywhere, the moat ain’t that small anymore. Also, their AI features are excellent. But certainly agree that more competition en…

The product suite differs significantly from 2015. Put aside new and acquired products like Trello and OpsGenie, the existing products have significantly expanded their capabilitie…

> Funny thing is jira is such a mess Atlassian introduced jira service desk more focused on tickets while the former can also do that. Not quite. Service Desk (aka Service Manageme…

Great take. I worked on Confluence for a few years and have a bit of insight. Search has been an area of focus on and off for the most part of the last 15 years. It actually has go…

I was the head of product for the developer tools at Atlassian in 2012. We thought long and hard about taking Bitbucket cloud and packaging it in a VM (which is what GitHub did at …

Bitbucket Server, which some people are referring to here, was build from the ground up, tailored to a self hosting environment.

Not quite. Bitbucket was acquired in 2011, only supported Mercurial and was missing a lot of features, including the pull request available today.

Neural search in combination with learning algorithms and traditional keyword searches are clearly the future. They vastly outperform traditional search engines. At sajari.com we h…

Every search company will be expected to have machine learning capabilities. However, if you simply bolt them on top instead of considering the fast volume of additional data as pa…

We've been looking for an easy and affordable way to share "what's new" with our customers. Finally a pricing that doesn't make this prohibitive for smaller startups.

It's not supposed to sound attractive, but investors will largely care about the YoY growth of 121% for Q2. They spend a ton of money on Sales & Marketing (293,577k in the last fis…

In particular for ecommerce sites it pays to invest in search. A large percentage of transactions is initiated by search queries. You are correct that fuzzy matching will likely ge…

What is your preferred pricing model and why?

Interesting change. Disclaimer, I joined one of Algolia's competitors ( http://sajari.com ) 6 months ago and we are about to release a new product and change our pricing, so I've b…

Hey B! Funny seeing you here. I'm now running product at http://sajari.com You will find that most tools provide document level permissions to some degree by storing user/group IDs…

Another correction, Atlassian has offices in Australia, but predominantly hosts their cloud services in the US and Europe.

The plan is to let Trello do what it does best, help people manage anything from organising a wedding to planning software projects.

That's right. We planned the announcement from the Bitbucket side weeks ahead.

> I'm a jaded Atlassian user who believes they buy competition and then stagnant the product's evolution. What product do you think Atlassian has bought to stifle it's evolution? B…

Let me follow up with our legal team to see why that's in there. Sometimes there is a good "legal" reason for these terms that are not quite obvious to the rest of us. To the earli…

I think it's worth mentioning that Atlassian does care, which should show in this new version and the time and effort we have put in to make SourceTree faster and more reliable. On…

That's correct, right now projects in Bitbucket help to organise your repositories into projects. With the raise of microservices, it's quite common that a project or product is ma…
