If so, what obstacles prevent from open sourcing it? At least the the part of functionality which is declared to be free forever?
- hobby-coder-guy 6y agoSo a competitor isn’t made.
- georgyo 6y agoIt is free now, they never say it will be free forever.
- serial_dev 6y agoHow do you interpret this in the "Pricing" modal: > Our free forever plan has unlimited tasks, sprints and workspaces, with no user limits.
- viach 6y agoI interpret it as "we will somehow monetize your data and train our AI model on your activities"
- syed99 6y agoHey! Co-founder/CTO of Tara here. We take privacy around your data very seriously. We're thinking about the ML training model as a "walled garden", ie recommendations are based on your past sprint activity, effort load, tasks completed during a sprint, etc. and are exclusive to your organization. In the future, if we decided to do benchmarking (for eg quick recommendations on how companies in your industry are running sprints), we would have a double opt-in. This would mean anonymizing the data, and providing the recommendations an opt-in. Basically, very similar to how google's autocomplete email recommendations work.
- viach 6y agoInteresting, just had this idea - would it be possible to feed the model with wrong data and make it giving bad suggestions to competitors who opted in?
- syed99 6y agoHa! Yes to some extent it would but that would really mean either a) we decided to run recommendations using a sparse model or b) we never validated the data or kept a watch on models when they were trained/retrained. This type of manipulation is typically likely when you're much larger and have alot of bots involved on the platform.
- 0df8dkdf 6y agoThe fact that it is .ai means that they are doing data collection. And you are the product. I already don't trust jira too much. Unless it is self-hosted and you want to be a test data collection set for them. Then it is not worth it.
- anaganisk 6y agoPost open-sourcing: HN article with headline, how Amazon ripped us over night. On a serious note, why should a startup make its code open source, unless they want to. Source open is also not acceptable for majority of HN. n8n tried to use a license that restricts commercial usage, and HN was all pitchforks.
