We once had a meeting with our ex-CTO. The question was how do you envision the technical future of Atlassian. The most popular tag was "fire", referring to the "Five-alarm fire" program they introduced to fight a series or emerging outages. This program was over at the time when we had this poll. Seems like everyone in the org saw that in 2021. Later it was confirmed multiple times, with one of the services down for almost a week for some clients, and TBH with other outages. And in 2021 the CTO just ignored the most popular "fire" answer saying something "while we're getting votes coming in, let's talk about..."
They replaced CTO, but it didn't help. At this point I'm pretty confident it's about founders who cannot keep it under control. So you know, this org is 70-80% KTLO.
