Another day, another company is reducing IT and software dev jobs to replace them with AI despite many report indicating that Gen AI doesn't work as promised. Get ready for more outages for Jira and co ;) ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/12/atlassian-layoffs-software-technology-ai-push-mike-cannon-brookes-asx

I didn't think Jira could get any more messed up, but I underestimated their commitment to the bit. AI is a bold choice for a platform that struggles with basic navigation. Lmao

@nixCraft This is just the beginning, I fear. I recall reading a McKinsey report about a decade ago, warning of a future global workforce replacement by AI and robotics (back when self-driving cars were new-ish). Now, it's leaked into the tech sphere (just as it predicted). There is a perverse logic to this theft. The only way big tech makes money from this trillion-plus-dollar investment is to use it to replace their #1 overhead cost, human employees. I feel for younger workers.

@nixCraft AI is just an excuse for the layoffs, not the real reason
