Neat project. Could be crossposted to !australia@aussie.zone for fame and glory.

Mind your indexed super fund! Indexing is the engine for another great invention - the self-driving stock market.

That life is about walking?

People hated Kojima because he told the truth.

Please god dont copy it, do better. The bar is so low

One time I was at a place where we got a local ISP to build us a cloud virtualisation service at a discount (i.e. we were the guinea pig), but of course it was terrible and took ages to provision anything - so when someone in Platform stood up a Rancher cluster all of the devs immediately switched to using that.

Trello was excellent before Atlassian started “improving” it. You’d always have to fight tooth-and-nail to keep your Trello board against managers who said it lacked features, even though precisely all the features a fucking kanban board needs is showing some tickets and columns.

If be pretty pissed off if I got laid off from a company with twelve rounds of interviews and technical interviews to prove you can invert a b-tree in o(1), and then you finally start the job and it’s just the same lame legacy code and poorly thought-out technical decisions (let’s roll our own event bus!) as everywhere else for a product that your users hate because they’re forced to use it.

As another former Atlassian engineer I'd say kinda yes and kinda no depending on which bits you're looking at.

One important thing a person could learn is: use existing platforms. Do not build a proprietary version of something like kubernetes. The weird internal eventing systems and fake janky kubernetes junk gave me headaches.

Perhaps its a guide on what not to do?

Yeah, but the sense I got is he's not talking about the open source or standard, he's talking about Atlassian's specific implementation, and other non-standards based work besides the OSB.

In normal employment contracts, that's a no-no.

If you're interested in the video, grab a copy, because I'd reckon Atlassian could have it pulled if they want. And sue the guy as well.

I think everything he shows is open source. He mentions where repos can be found.

The post title, which I didn't change when crossposting, and the medium post are garbage. I'm pretty sure the medium post misquotes him as I read it again after watching the video. It's also weirdly written, like slop weird.

The video is interesting though.

Skimmed parts of the video. First thought was "Wait, is he showing and discussing Atlassian internal code/architecture?"

If I were him, I would have read my employment contract more carefully to understand what belongs to Atlassian or him, what he can or can not keep, and can or can not disclose.

Honestly who'd want to copy their tech stack. Products like JIRA and confluence are notoriously bad and slow and hated by developers forced to use it. And all the good products are things they acquired over the years.

Medium post is strange reading.

I was laid off by Atlassian

Internet connectivity interruption Incident Report for Binary Lane

BinaryLane is responding to a large-scale denial-of-service attack targeting our entire autonomous system. The attack has been significant enough to affect our primary upstream provider, who has had to drop our ports several times to protect their wider network — most recently because the attack resumed each time we were re-added. We are currently announcing traffic via our secondary upstream, which is keeping the platform reachable but with reduced throughput and higher latency for traffic outside Sydney, where the secondary provider's footprint is concentrated.

We have a meeting at 4:00 PM AEST with our primary upstream to agree a sustainable path forward, and in parallel we are working with another Australian carrier (with whom we have direct connectivity in all our datacentres) to bring additional capacity online for mitigation. Customer data is not at risk — this is a network-level attack, not an intrusion. We'll post a further update immediately after the 4:00 PM meeting. Thank you for your patience.

Sigh. Maybe they're being ransomed.

I wonder what Partial means in this context. I guess they can still access on site.

They're on it. Just a waiting game.

Yep, status page says partial outage: https://status.binarylane.com.au/

yeah that's partly why I moved to Apple, I had a pixel 2 (2018) and it ran out of support in 2020 and I was like, the same year iphone XS (2018) was released and it still has support, the pixel 2 still ran fine to me

I've heard android now extends the support but I'm looking at a fairphone

Not mine. Asking for a friend. It's pretty snappy still as opposed to my much newer Oppo that slows to a crawl or is just less responsive in general.

i can't believe your phone still works at all, I'm iphone XS and mine feels ancient

“The way I see AI, this is the biggest single biggest gold rush in human history. It’s going to generate so much wealth for everyone,” AirTrunk’s founder Robin Khuda told Forbes last year.

Oh, cool! Sounds like a great idea th-

But major AI companies are losing billions of dollars each year and there are already examples of newly-built, mega data centres sitting idle because of energy supply constraints.

Well, at least it will only effect people with monetary investment in-

It’s also not clear how domestic power bills will be affected, though some data centres in the US have pushed prices 267% higher for local residents.
