It is kind of amazing they did this, and the fact they didn't fix it when they could, speaks of negligence. I appreciate the honesty and the "No Bullshit" stance.
Still you have to wonder, Atlassian is building organizational communication tools, they are also using them their own development and business process, It gives pause when you consider the software they develop to actually do the job the are claiming it helps to achieve.
Isn't the whole point of this type of software, is to help stuff like that not happen by enhancing organizational communication?
