Fired Atlassian engineer posts breakdown of every system he built
twitter.comSo basically anything anyone who is building at that scale would have some rendition of? I hate these LinkedIn wannabe “I got the latest expert scoop for you” style tweets.
Its like someone at Discord being fired then telling the world they worked with Erlang and Rust to scale Discord and some rando on Twitter saying “anyone can now rebuild Discord!!!”
Pardon my ignorance, but is Atlassian a good example to follow?
Surely not. Atlassian is horrible, slow, and nothing I would copy.
A friend of a friend works/worked at Atlassian and was apparently slogging through legacy JSP when working on Jira.
They have had a complete turn around the last 2-3 years. It's snappy and seems like they actually listen to the feedback forms I fill out.
GitHub and GCloud are now the painful platforms for me. Jira/Bitbucket are nice by comparison now (imo). I use all of these daily. I suspect that Google and Microsoft are suffering from internal push to do everything with Ai. It shows when they are shipping slop and having uptime issues.
Please not, they lost the plot round about 2015 already.
yea, totally lost the plot…

Yes, striving for share holder value is not a plot we care about
Please god, no. The last thing we need is slopcoded atlassian clones.
Although they couldn’t possibly be worse so maybe flooding the market with free knockoffs will finally kill the beast.
Okay, this is (a bit silly?) but that's because they are linking to some random person's twitter account rather than the actual technical breakdown by the creator or the engineer and isn't affiliated to them from my understanding.
The original video[0] itself was actually recommended to me on youtube and I really enjoyed watching it but I haven't watched it completely but I have saved it in my watch later.
Instead of treating it as the tweet suggests on how to build next atlassian, I think we should treat it as the engineering decisions made and the thinking processes behind it.

I mean... Is the really valuable? I don't think what atlassian built is particularly technically challenging. There are a lot of products and it would take a lot of work, but no individual bit is hard.
I think the only hard part is getting 350k customers to use it.
This is absolutely worthless. It's not hard to build a similar system, there's no moat in that. It's growing it and operating it that is difficult.
All this guy accomplished is making himself unemployable.
