so you go from perpetually unemployed to engineer at Atlassian for a couple of years, then back to perpetually unemployed? ("never would have had jobs" according to the parent) is that typical, for most companies?

Everyone moved up a pin, and the lowest ranked company got a bootcamp grad. Now everyone moved down a pin, and the bootcamp grad wont get a job. That is roughly how this works, not as clean but the end result isn't far off.

A lot of the lay-offs were senior technical staff though, at least at my company.

Like C++ Staff engineers, etc.

It seems more like a realignment to shift those jobs to cheaper subsidiaries like India, Pakistan, Mexico, etc.

They should lay off 100% and go out of business. An entire generation of devs has suffered with Atlassian's broken, unscalable tooling. In my entire career I've never met someone who actually likes their products.

Developer here. I quite like Jira, I've never seen anything as fleshed out or complete as it is. At a previous startup, I used clubhouse.io, but I seriously missed Jira after a few months. I generally think Atlassian is a really solid company building good products and I really don't get the hatred. I'm also open to acceptable alternatives to Jira and Trello. Edit: ooh, just saw that they also own statuspage. And eve…

I preferred Clubhouse to JIRA - why didn't you like it?

But yeah, JIRA is far from the worst of these tools IMO.

Did you not notice the explosion in bootcamps and online programs? Not to mention the huge expansion of existing CS programs. Tens of thousands joined the industry.

I admit I don't know the industry-wide data for that. I have not encountered a bootcamp person in a professional setting in over 5 years, but maybe im not a part of most companies.

bitbucket is a solid product on its own but it's no where comparable to the social network and sheer volume of github and usability of github copilot.

It's so solid, you don't even get syntax highlighting in pr reviews. Solid single color like I'm reading a legal document.

You want to write suggestions in your pr review? You can only select a single line and you will have to write a regular code block not a suggestion block.

Your comments and discussions over that line? Gone, after a force push bitbucket acts like it saw the blinding light from men in black.

It will be a blood bath. Postman "Labs", a company that produces a glorified cURL UI and some incoherent most likely useless tools around it received $433M investment at valuation of $2B and apparently has hundreds of employees. Current state of tech is not sustainable.

postman, another shit product.

I actually find postman quite useful for the work I do (heavily api-related) - if you work in that space, what other tools would you recommend instead?

Whenever something goes wrong in terms of product management, we can always blame Jira (or the PM). I like that.

I use https://hoppscotch.io/ as a replacement for postman

And also ThundeClient a VS Code extension when using VS code.
