We all give Atlassian products shit. Yet we all use them, and the company running them appears to not be evil.

Not a bad thing these days.

Never seen on demand t-shirt printing by hand at a tech conference before. This is very cool. Well played cprime. Smart way to stand out at Atlassian Team '25.

i fucking love scientists.

this delightful nugget after the story of Dr. Mary Brunkow turning her phone off yesterday.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

My wider family: we have Irish, Welsh, an Iraqi Jew, Zulu South Africans, a Zimbabwean, English, North Americans, and an Iranian. We all have a hoot & think Nelson was cool, because we love each other and we live in a culture that allows and celebrates that

Everyone needs to get their shit together

Hey kids!

Remember when the pandemic struck and eventually the (Tory) government told everyone to stay at home, and the arts and entertainment industries were one of the few things keeping everyone from pulling our own eyes out of our skulls from abject fear and boredom?

Remember that?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

The US tech industry really does owe a massive debt to the Indian education system and the country's smart, driven, people. The India to US talent pipeline has been one of America's key competitive advantages. This H1-B thing makes no sense.

The story telling at @atlassian.bsky.social Team '25 Europe is crisp, makes sense. plenty of repetition, which is good. AI is the primary Platform interface, Rovo is that AI. graph underpins everything - that's Teamwork Graph. Rovo workflows are "skills". AI supports, rather than replaces, people.

I am in a conference hall and honestly the quality of these speakers doesn't support the volume and I am now wearing my own headphones.
