    One other note: We've seen teams where people are now using Korey as the main surface to their work tracking tool. They show up in the morning and say "what was I working on yester…

    I'm not 100% clear on what the scope of ChatPRD is at this point (beyond PRDs) but Korey has a fleet of specialized subagents running underneath for everything from status updates …

    Hi all, we started an experiment a few months ago to see if we could build an actual useful PM agent for software teams, and I think that we've come up with something pretty cool. …

    The Anthropic models are running underneath everything (Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor, etc). Whenever someone is using MCP they (in the generalized case, until now) ultimately end …

    Having spent 7 years now building https://www.shortcut.com/ it's very clear to me that at a certain point in the life-cycle of many organizations a bunch of people get hired who ca…

    As soon as we add a new feature to Shortcut people inevitably use it in a way that's complex and unexpected and that causes a large portion of the team to hate it. It's a very hard…

    Depends on the size of the organization using it. It is until you hit the wall on it and then you end up with a lot of tough tradeoffs.

    One of the big problems here is that there's no agreed upon mental model for how people think about the pieces fitting together (and I don't think that we could come up with one th…

    Maybe it's just me, but other than ad-free articles what value does Blue bring to the table? (Just an edit button?) Anyone here paying for it and feel like they're getting their mo…

    We do a lot of work at Clubhouse to keep things fast. We have alerts set up that fire if the p50 or p95 of certain actions spike and we treat it as a bug if things are headed in th…

    Just to clarify, we think a lot about product managers, but when there's a tug-of-war between making life easier for developers vs making life easy for PMs we lean towards the form…

    One of the lenses that we look at things through when making product decisions is making it hard to do things that end up feeling like paper cuts for developers all day long. I've …

    I'd argue that we're stretching a bit with the word "need" here. Are we still at the point where every software development team has to come up with their own special process? I fe…

    One thing that we've built[1] is a way to hook a Branch to a story (by including the story ID in the branch name, which also starts it) which causes all of the commits on the branc…

    Perhaps you confused "it feels like" (implying that it feels bloated with many esoteric and/or generally useless features) with the statement "there's literally never been a featur…

    To be fair, they did say "no" to this. (After 11 years. :-) )

    Agreed. It feels like Atlasssian never met a feature request that they didn't say "no" to. Unfortunately, most of the tools out there don't scale well, so most teams reach the poin…
