#142I see. So AI is reducing the number of jobs in the tech sector because fewer people are needed to ship stuff (thanks to AI). And since fewer people are needed across the tech sector then we don't need things like Jira anymore because it can all be done on post-its or Google sheets or something, so there's no need for Atlassian accounts anymore. And Atlassian can now do more with less thanks to AI. I can't wait for At…

#144Layoffs because of AI make no sense to me. Imagine you own a company that is paid to deliver packages. You use horses and differentiate by delivering quicker than everyone else. Then cars are invented and everyone starts delivering packages faster. In what world does a healthy growing business react to this by laying off couriers "in a pivot to automotive transportation". Would a healthy business not switch everyone…

#145Where are the most popular alternatives to Jira?
Linear is great if you fit into its workflow. It's very dev orientated. I work on Aha! Develop https://www.aha.io/develop/overview which I obviously think is a great tool, especially if you're a team with a product manager.

They just announced GA of agentic assignees. It suggests a year or more of maturation. Rovo Dev has already been a thing. The Java products are almost EOL. They have already been assigning JAC tickets to Rovo and $TEAM is down. What else should be done with the surplus headcount?
Are you making the argument that Atlassian’s products are basically done, no more development needed?

#149AI reduces the need for expensive labor, payroll taxes and health insurance premiums, yet the cost of the company's service keeps going up. How does that happen?

#150If they are paying them 6-month severances like Block did, this means they are effectively saying 1,600 people for 6-months wouldn't have fixed JIRA's usability and performance, which if they could have done like many have been begging, they'd would probably make more money long-term than this firing would save.
Okay I just wrote an "it's not, it's..." organically, is this the zeitgeist or what.
