Atlassian software sucks. But hey, with AI at least now it can get way worse.
But do you hate it more than teams?
No, I think teams is even worse.
Interesting that their CTO was also laid off. Makes me wonder if he was deemed 'AI-hostile' by others in the C-suite because he was enforcing human employees. But purely conjecture on my part with that.
No, it's not because of that. It's because he was legit a bad cto. No one at the company liked him.
Why do you think this?
Because I've worked there.
Damn. I'd actually enjoyed the fact that Jira, et al hadn't received the "sprinkle AI over shit" treatment.
It has had AI tools built in to it for months, they call it Rovo.
Ah, that sucks. I guess we're still running an older version and just hadn't seen it.
Rovo -- like all other hastily-named, great-value-branded versions of Siri -- is basically completely useless.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
