Why do companies take digs like this at other companies? ...especially when Atlassian doesn't exactly have the best track record itself?

  Why don’t more companies take up the gauntlet that Musk threw down? It’s such an obvious opportunity.
- donnythecroc 4y ago
  Musk literally believes in the Chinese model of 996 work culture. He does practice what he preaches but has string of failed marriages to show for it and has no problem calling out anyone who doesn't do the same. So providing a counterpoint is good. Frankly I'd prefer to work at a remote company like air bnb.

  Could you elaborate more on Atlassian's track record?

  I think you answered your own question.

Not that I am impressed with Elon or hold him high: But I don't think many people would be particularly eager to go from building an autonomous self driving EV car to building an overhyped hyper-sold bug raising platform. Being centered in australia is a plus with it's laid back lifestyle but nothing else is a plus

  Not every software dev at Tesla works on self driving. Also would you want to work on something that'll never work? (I own a Tesla but I can't resist trolling here).

      There's a difference between hard and feasible though. I love solving hard problems. I want to work on hard problems. I don't want to work on something that I don't believe is solvable. It's a prerequisite for me to intuitively believe something can be done. There was no feasibility question around going to the moon, it was all engineering.

At the time of Kennedy's discourse, the only US mission (Mercury-Redstone 3, or Freedom 7) was a 15-minute suborbital flight at 101.2 nautical miles high. I guess that in 50 years people will say that self-driving was "all engineering".

Pretty sure I heard some horror stories on HN about the mess that is Atlassian.

  I found a bug once where you could @ any user in a multi-tennant install of confluence. They ignored the report for two years until someone bruteforced a ccomplete list of users and emails from their public facing support site and published it to the ticket. They then 'fixed' it by suggesting use of an apache reverse proxy with a mod_rewrite rule.
