#2Pardon my ignorance, but is Atlassian a good example to follow?

#3So basically anything anyone who is building at that scale would have some rendition of? I hate these LinkedIn wannabe “I got the latest expert scoop for you” style tweets.
Its like someone at Discord being fired then telling the world they worked with Erlang and Rust to scale Discord and some rando on Twitter saying “anyone can now rebuild Discord!!!”

#4This is absolutely worthless. It's not hard to build a similar system, there's no moat in that. It's growing it and operating it that is difficult.
All this guy accomplished is making himself unemployable.

Surely not. Atlassian is horrible, slow, and nothing I would copy.

#7I mean... Is the really valuable? I don't think what atlassian built is particularly technically challenging. There are a lot of products and it would take a lot of work, but no individual bit is hard.
I think the only hard part is getting 350k customers to use it.

#9Please god, no. The last thing we need is slopcoded atlassian clones.
Although they couldn’t possibly be worse so maybe flooding the market with free knockoffs will finally kill the beast.

#10Okay, this is (a bit silly?) but that's because they are linking to some random person's twitter account rather than the actual technical breakdown by the creator or the engineer and isn't affiliated to them from my understanding.
The original video[0] itself was actually recommended to me on youtube and I really enjoyed watching it but I haven't watched it completely but I have saved it in my watch later.
Instead of treating it as the tweet suggests on how to build next atlassian, I think we should treat it as the engineering decisions made and the thinking processes behind it.
