      I highly doubt GenAI is going to solve the Atlassian products‘ complexity.

      We have to expect that this will increase over time, with many more jobs being replaced by AI.

      1000000% That extra money is going to investors and the CEO. AI is purely a scheme to take more money from the lower classes.

      „Hmm, we don’t have the money to spend on all this AI stuff… who has the money for this? Oh! Our employees!“

      I used to work for Atlassian. This billionaire dude has two of the most expensive houses in Australia and he needs more money.

      What do you call an investment in the past that didn’t work out. Then cutting 10% staff to cover that past investment? I would call it a loss, but I like how companies reframe it as a future investment.

      This company was recruiting on never doing layoffs from 2020-2023. Now they have done 2 in 3 years.

      Check the stocks performance. Tanked from $400+ to $73 today.

      Desperation.

      Will it let me create a simple JIRA ticket without filling out 500 fields?

    15. crap-with-feet on

      Ironic. AI only speaks markdown and confluence doesn’t have any native support for it.

      Explains why my org has to fight these fuckers to move off of OAuth 1.0. (It doesn’t, Jira just sucks that bad).

      The funny thing is, I will use AI to make sure I never need to use their software, not the other way around. Put as much AI slop in your software as you want, Codex made you obsolete months ago.

      To be fair they are partially justified. In contrast to some greedy companies Atlassian never had profitable year so reducing costs via lay offs is logical.

      Rovo is obsolete since you can replicate that functionality for the most part by connecting Claude or Copilot to their MCP server.

      Yeah their models are more tuned but in practice I didn’t find it mattered.

      Also bitbucket SUCKS and is always behind their competitors in featureset. They used to at least be more reliable but that’s not even the case now.

    20. Interesting_Guava963 on

      Not sure how cutting 10% of human expertise helps them build better AI tools. Usually you need your best people to train the models, not layoff notices.

      Every time Jira’s „AI“ tries to „help“ me out with some suggestion I haven’t asked for it’s something completely useless and unrelated.

      The first person that makes usable and scalable cross platform Project Management software is going to make a lot of money.

      It’s ok guys, just let your kids know you planned on investing in their college. But your employer decided they’d rather invest in destroying their future instead. It used to be a sign of failure for employers to lay off staff. One of the most insidious things the Jack Welch and the rest of the Epstein class did in the 90’s is normalize mass layoffs as a business practice. And it’s decimated the stability of the middle class. We need a new new deal that puts guard rails on mass terminations as an “investment”.

      And I have to wait 10 days for them to renew my LastPass… I think 1pass is looking good

    30. ChocolateNinja123 on

      Confluence and Jira is so shit, what makes them think that they can solve that with AI and making people redundant?

    33. MrLeville on

      Well between that and forcing everyone to move to their cloud version, I can confidently say fuck atlassian
