Atlassian is on the chopping block with the robots getting as good as they are at writing code. It wouldn’t surprise me if we’ll start seeing self-hosted clones that actually work and drop all of the shit complexity that most people don’t use but Atlassian built to land specific customers. So much fucking bloat in software and core features being changed or ignored is due explicitly to this. The larger customers (by ARR) dictate the bounds of the product even if they are a tiny fraction of the actual user base. At work we’re already throwing away a shitty case management system that exists purely to employ people like the little kids at the front of the train in Snowpiercer. We’ll save 6-7 figures in annual licensing, and the team of specialists hired to work in this shitty system are already being migrated to other work. The Saaspocalypse is totally gonna be a thing.
