Atlassian want to look cool being on the AI edge - nothing more )) But tbh looks a bit stupid but its owners/top management are living in the ivory tower for decades now, so no suprises here

I've been using it for 4 years!
We are looking for someone with 10 years of experience though! Rejected!

This is the first I’m hearing of either of these products, or this company. If you’d asked me what a program named Dia was ten minutes ago, I’d have confidently replied that it’s an open source gui diagramming tool.
Same, and I don't not really wanna try:
"A new AI browser from the makers of Arc: Chat with your tabs"
say what??? )))

There are people hunting double spaces or typos in code? For what contributor credits?
oh boy... I am thinking of having it as an interview question - once someone raises a PR for an empty space it's an obvious NO )))))
democracy commented on Ask HN: Tell me about the best programmer you worked with · Posted by u/jvanderbot
I knew a guy who wrote assembler for an 8bit pc without line breaks - he'd just keep typing to the end of the editor line and then continue. And he wasn't producing junk either, he made some really impressive games for the time. That's probably as close as I've seen to "genius."
That said, I wouldn't have wanted to work with him in a commercial environment. It was a way of thinking/programming I could never wrap my head around.

LinkedIn is a vanity fair, and I'm not sure why it even matters in 2025 — it's just a job board when you need it.

funny - when struts2/log4j caused a lot of million-dollar problems, how many companies were looking for commercial alternatives or invested into developing their own solutions? That's right - zero. Everyone just switched to the next freebie.

I witnessed the dystopian future where humans are slaves to machines at my favorite local Mexican restaurant. It was about an hour before close. The kids and I were the only customers there. Before we ordered our food we had to wait for the staff to explain to a very annoyed door dasher that the meal they were here for had already been picked up by someone else. As we ate dinner over the next half hour, a new door dasher would arrive every few minutes in an attempt to pick up that same already-picked-up order.
Eventually eight people had been sent by the machines to pick up the same order!
So no, robots are not required to enslave humans and cause them misery, an app will suffice.
An incompetent manager would also do the job )
