Yep. The vast majority of users don't follow these outages (aka don't browse forums like Hacker News or r/sysadmin), and thus aren't aware of them.
Many of these users are decision-makers who decide what tools to use, and will continue to use Atlassian out of inertia due to lots of existing documentation on the tool (this is compounded by not knowing about the outages, or not knowing the severity of the outages), and also because large, professional companies use their tools too.
I don't necessarily agree with the perspective to stay with it, but it uses a lot of political capital/innovation tokens/goodwill/etc. to change systems, when there are usually higher-priority things to do (than to get buy-in to switch).
Even those 400, especially Jira is crazy popular with a lot of scrum masters and the scrum crowd in general. I could see some of those 400 stick with Jira even after this shit show if only to avoid losing all their scrum masters.
um... the sentiment is universal it's not specific to that particularly awful history. Sorry if it triggered you, HN doesn't offer a delete button.
FYI my ancestors fled oppression on both sides and I'm well aware that it's a miracle I'm alive.
Again, one bad thing leading to another is a common human behavior, and the Holocaust is just an extreme example that I ABSOLUTELY did not intend whatsoever. You make this connection, not me.
If I'm then one making this connection, then it should be trivial for you to finish your sentence. "First they came for..." Who are the Jews in your analogy ? Who are the communists? the trade unionists? And who is the totalitarian regime?
Suggesting that Niemöller's poem is about "one bad thing leads to another" is like suggesting that Anne Frank's diary is about "sometimes girls have really bad days." I understand you didn't mean any offense to anyone. But that's not a license to be offensive, and then duck for cover.
