I feel like there is a "sacrifice for the greater good" mentality growing. Think about how many civilians the US govt killed in the middle east just so we could have decently priced oil. I think that mentality is bleeding into oth

Can we all start using Trello clones as the tutorial substance? So in case Atlassian screws it up, we have 100s of developers that know how to re-create it? :D
