Edit/note: I probably didn’t make my comment very clear. I’m aware it’s 1600 being laid off. More that I didn’t realise that Atlassian had 16k people in total. 16,000 people making their products progressively worse.
Even if their company only had 1600 ppl, I’d still say they were wasteful.
About 16k workers? How!?
What a waste of human effort, time and resources. All to make a few bad products, worse.
It’s possible to have complex, poorly-architected stuff going on behind the curtains, even if the UI is simple. And vice-versa. And even worse, like JIRA, both can be a dog’s breakfast.

I’m not surprised. Jira is a monster.
As with any software, look how complex it is as a user, the hidden part is 10x worse.

It’s not 16k, it’s 800×2
