Atlassian want to look cool being on the AI edge - nothing more )) But tbh looks a bit stupid but its owners/top management are living in the ivory tower for decades now, so no suprises here
Another excellent product off to the gallows at atlasian. Joining ops genie and trello.
lol Hug Firefox close, it's an awful world out there, especially with Google being given the greelight to continue their monopolising with Chrome. I remember being tempted by this thing when it first came out - their asinine sign up waiting list kept me from pursuing it further and then I forgot about it until they eventually fully dumped it and moved into full AI-enshittification territory. There are really 30 years…
I’m not sure whether I find it more worrisome or fascinating that we live in a world where a company that, as far as I know, has never generated a single dollar in revenue has managed to exist for over five years, employ more than 100 people, and still get acquired for this amount. This isn’t criticism or sarcasm — I’m genuinely impressed, but also very curious about the rationale behind it.
I lost all faith in The Browser Company when they went into a maintenance-only mode with Arc to shift to Dia, without any real announcement. Just a reply to a Twitter post calling them out. They figured no one would notice. I think they eventually addressed it after some public pressure, but I don’t think they sold the decision well. AI seems like a feature to add to existing browsers, not something that needs its ow…
What was the Browser Company even doing? First they had a successful consumer product with Arc as a Chrome clone, then they decided to shut it down for...a whole new browser called Dia that essentially acted as a browser extension that so many vibe coded clones were made of? What was even the point of all this roundabout engineering and the time and manpower to do so? What a waste. This seems more like an acquihire t…
Arc on Windows was build in Swift. And they built Swift WinRT.

It was more than this. The Sun Ray thin clients were so frigging impressive. The problem wasn't the tech, the problem was it was SUN. It ran on Sun Hardware, with Sun Software and all at Sun Prices. Metaframe was just so much cheaper (it was also hot garbage but thats another story).
Given that, in the back of every customer's mind, across all segments, they cannot allow one vendor to have or exert too much control, it is a wonder why any company would seek to own a platform to such an extent. The better and more integrated you get, the more of a risk you become. And of course I'm speaking on the context of what I'm building, not the world we're in. There are plenty of platforms that are more imp…

Opsgenie still exists
Atlasian are the masters of inshitification/jirafication of the products they buy. Turning loved products into hated gartner matrixes.

Really? Most businesses leave their eternal soul and their firstborn in the care of Microsoft, with no backup plan. I just don't buy this.
