Maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not. But if you’re right i think it’s more “investor wishcasting” than developers.
It really doesn’t matter what us devs think. Investors and industry leaders have decided that AI development is the way forward and we’re going to be managing teams of agents from now on. So we’re not going back to fine-grained task management in jira - what used to live in jira will now live markdown files, and largely be written and read by agents.
Higher level tasks might go into something like Linear, who knows.
If the investors are wrong, and this is all fantasy, then maybe people will go back to Jira, and Atlassian stocks will recover.
It’s not that their employees are no longer needed, it’s that their product (jira) is no longer needed. When you’ve got AI agents taking bigger and bigger steps, you don’t need to micromanage people through jira as much anymore. Companies will likely switch to something lighter.
Jira regularly makes it to the top of lists of the most hated enterprise software, there’s definitely appetite in the market for a replacement.
The article says this has been running since 1963 though. The program would’ve been running through the post-war period of economic growth, as well as during the lost decades.
I used to do that too, but now I go to my spam folder and grab the latest phishing email and use the reply-to address. I like the idea of some sales guy following up a lead with a Nigerian scammer, but sadly I’ll never see the email exchange.
Who considers them politically suspect? I’m guessing the people who live in the countries that use them don’t, and on the contrary would increasingly be seeing the USD as politically suspect.
Yep, I was referring to the license suspension for 6 months though, which is what the earlier post was talking about. What you’re referring to is a license suspension for 3 months.
I'm not the person you replied to, but in a 110 km/h (70 mph) zone you'd get away with just a fine in Australia if caught/pulled over. To lose your license for six months, you'd need to be doing 130+ km/h in an 80 km/h (50 mph) zone.
