No1 comments on A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy.

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.

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.

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.
