Kind of OT but as a James Joyce enjoyer I like the name, it evokes this paper which always stuck with me

Dawn: A study of the present age and Finnegans wake through a close look at FW page 594, one page sufficient for our time

Literally 250+ pages unpacking one single page of the original ~700 page book, much of which reads like it was encrypted/compressed.

(Upper management fires those groups and uses the savings to buy Atlassian)

Remember open source wikis? Twiki?

They were much better. More functional, faster, intuitive.

Corporates got rid of those and Atlassian got rich

BugZilla works for lots of usecases also

As a person who has designed several enterprise data models, I would like to personally congratulate the entire middle school class that belched up Atlassian's
