I don't want to sound mean, but before discussing performance issues, can we talk about how completely unusable all of Atlassian's products are? I mean this sincerely. I feel bad saying it because I know there are lots of people probably on this site that worked on them. But I literally often have no idea how to proceed when using these products. That's something that hasn't happened to me since before I was a teenager.
As 2 random examples, I've used both Confluence and Crucible in the last month. In Confluence, when I log in I see everything that anyone in my (1,000+ people) organization worked on most recently. People I've never even heard of show up as having edited some random document that doesn't concern me. Meanwhile, I can find no way to list all articles that I created. There's a small list of things I edited or looked at in the last 30 days, but no way to say, "just show me everything I created."
Meanwhile, in Crucible, I literally can't figure out how to do anything. I'm reading through the changes to some source code and adding comments, and after an hour of doing that, it still says I've completed 0% of my review. WTF? And when I start my own code review, every god damned time, it tells me, "You're about to start a review with no reviewers." It then offers me 2 choices: Abandon the review or cancel. I get what "abandon" does. What does cancel do? Cancel the review? Cancel abandoning the review? Why is there no button right there to add reviewers? That's what I most want to do! (And there are no reviewers yet because it literally has not yet given me the option to add them previously in the work flow. WTF?)
You can talk about performance all you want. I won't bother until the products actually perform some useful function. As of now, as far as I can tell, they don't.
- NickNameNick 6y agoAs much as I don't want to defend confluence here, or anywhere... The front page of your confluence instance's default space was configured by someone to show the all-activity feed. You should be able to go in to your profile, and set your default space to a more specific and useful 'space', maybe your teams space. While you're looking at your profile, you should also see a more tailored activity feed. I can't help you with crucible.
