It really doesn’t matter what us devs think. Investors and industry leaders have decided that AI development is the way forward and we’re going to be managing teams of agents from now on. So we’re not going back to fine-grained task management in jira - what used to live in jira will now live markdown files, and largely be written and read by agents.

Higher level tasks might go into something like Linear, who knows.

If the investors are wrong, and this is all fantasy, then maybe people will go back to Jira, and Atlassian stocks will recover.

Jira regularly makes it to the top of lists of the most hated enterprise software, there’s definitely appetite in the market for a replacement.

Their stock has been taking a huge hit over the last few months because of this: https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/ai-is-eating-softw...

It also mentions that it was done to drive sales.

This is common in Australia too.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit, in my case our auditors didn’t have a clue what GitHub was and we had to explain how code reviews and deployment pipelines worked. And these are the people who are tasked with certifying whether we’re doing our job correctly.

Sure, maybe it’s because we didn’t pick good auditors. But the accountants certified those auditors, and the whole point of certification is that we can rely on it to establish basic knowledge.

> SOC 2 is a security and compliance framework created by the AICPA

How is it that a group of accountants (the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) was able to create a security framework for software, and position themselves as the sole gatekeeper who decides which auditors are allowed to certify SaaS vendors?

I’m surprised that companies would look to accountants, rather than people from the tech industry, to tell them whether a vendor has good IT security practices.

Yet the whole tech industry seems to be on board with this, even Google, Microsoft, etc. How did this come to be?

> Unlike the camera and audio APIs, the APIs for taking screenshots and recording video of the screen are not protected by any permission

However they also talk about doing static analysis on 9,100 out of the 17,260 apps, to determine (amongst other things) “whether media APIs are actually referenced in the app’s code”.

They then talk about doing a dynamic analysis to see which apps actually call the APIs (rather than just link to a library that might call it, but the app never calls that function the library).

The soundbite is bad, it shouldn’t say “had potential permissions to take screenshots”, it should just say “had the potential to take screenshots”

> The definition of what constitutes a standard drink varies very widely between countries,[2] with what each country defines as the amount of pure alcohol in a standard drink ranging from 8 to 20 grams.

> The sample questionnaire form for the World Health Organization's Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) uses 10 g (0.35 oz),[3] and this definition has been adopted by more countries than any other amount.
