    20 years ago Atlassian was a dynamic and pretty cool company.
    JIRA was fun to use and in Confluence you could edit pages in markup directly.

    It’s gone downhill ever since.

    Now Atlassian is just another slop fest and I hope that people finally leave this crap behind.

    My Jiras are going to train the clanker wrong. And not on purpose, they are just blank descriptions with due dates that are bookmarks for projects. Clankers can’t even handle sarcasm, good luck with inference of unprovided details.

    Yeah so this isn’t gonna fly in any way, shape, or form. All of that will be cited by companies who are users as trade secrets and proprietary internal documentation. This is a great way for them to force their userbase away from their products.

    So, yeah… bold move, cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.

      Especially for a glorified ticketing system and wiki. There are multiple open source options that work just as well… and don’t spy on you. May I suggest BugZilla and TWiki?

    Good thing they forced everyone into their cloud service and EoL’d on-prem installs so they now have a nice captive user base to abuse 🙃

        I have. I quit after it was decided our department should migrate to it. Half a year later I heard everything is on fire and the SNow migration was paused indefinitely.

        Just wait until your company shuffles to the next top 3 platforms over the next few years and eventually settles on some shitty Microsoft product because the execs got a handyJ.

    Well, I only use AI to write my Jira stories and Confluence wiki pages, so jokes on them

    guaranteed any company worth more than a handful of salt does not want this. my company would throw a library of books at them for using data in any way that isn’t 100% explicit. for the longest time they blocked me from running Ollama on my laptop cuz the lawyers didn’t understand how neural networks work and thought i was exfiltrating data.

    this is only going to hurt companies that probably shouldn’t be using Atlassian products anyway (ie any company with more agility than a boomer era corporate dinosaur)

      The issue with this is that it puts the onus of social responsibility on the free market. We know that the market is largely apathetic and uninformed.

    Enterprise users can opt-out. They just did the same thing Microslop did with GitHub.

      Just like the advertising model. Pay us with subscription money, or pay us with all the data we can scrape from you.

      I suppose these things have to be opt-out because if they were opt-in then literally nobody would do it. Which is quite telling really isn’t it lol

        The best part about using reddit is that LLMs don’t understand sarcasm or spamming meme, which are a significant portion of reddit comments. There are so many John Backflip level trolling memes out there.
