    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.

    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.

      Jira sucks. My company did not adopt it properly and nobody had a clue about how to fix it. It was such a stupid buy.

        Tell them to buy AHA and integrate the two. You can thank me later for your promotion after you get awarded “innovator of the quarter” for suggesting this. After all, why have just one terrible ticketing software when you can have two? /s

        You need one person that implements the stupid shit that the crackhead PMs come up with. Otherwise it’s just kinda expensive ‘meh’
