    Atlassian has full stack generalists and back end specialists, but they don't have any front end specialists to my knowledge. I'm convinced that's part of why their interfaces are a mess.

    Shame it's Mac only! I like the ideas.

    My biggest concerns would be cross device connectivity. I really like the convenience of sending a tab from my desktop to my phone or laptop or wherever I'll need it next. Bookmark syncing is the other critical feature for me.

    Btw, your linked demo is inaccessible for me.

    I believe the responsible legal party has to list their address. If someone wanted to be the middleman for anonymous developers, they'd likely be assuming legal responsibility, the same as an LLC.

    It's stupid to fire engineers for not using AI coding tools, but I think that's basically post-hoc justification.

    In general, the C suite is looking for an excuse to do layoffs. If revenue isn't growing, the only way to increase profit is cutting costs. When a company does layoffs, they can be honest and say they're cutting headcount and likely losing productive capacity, or they can lie about massive productivity growth through AI tooling.

    It isn't much different from doing layoffs through RTO policies. The evidence on productivity isn't there, but executives will gladly lie through their teeth to shirk the blame.

    It's not exclusively a for-profit incentive. Governments are subject to the same pressures. Organizations want to prove they're useful, so they'll create busy work for themselves.

    Their two major non-enterprise ships in the past five years have been: Projects (2022), which I would describe as a solid iterative improvement on GitHub Issues that is still strictly worse than Linear and Jira

    This is very opinionated. Jira is a massive mess that can be strangled into doing practically anything. Projects are clear enough for small organisations and teams.

    I’m not well equipped to prognosticate here: all I know is that this is not the tool of the future, and whoever replaces GitHub will have a narrative arc of incumbency displacement that will feel obvious and trite in retrospect.

    This isn't obvious to me. Who's to say whether there will be a better tool or interface? Many unix utilities have been fundamentally unchanged for decades because They Just Work™ which keeps users happy. There are already plenty of different tools and interfaces for version control.

    The market elements on the private server are likely drawing the most ire. If they just took donations, they'd have a better argument for being a noncommercial fan project.

    Edit: And the shooter was a Nazi. Lovely.
