    We’ve built this belief around teamwork into our logos, focusing on the specific benefits we want our customers to feel when teamwork is at its best. And I’m proud of the end result. Like us, you may notice important symbolism around teams in the new Atlassian logo – two people high-fiving, a mountain ready for teams to scale, or even the letter A formed from two pillars reinforcing each other.

    And for the curious: the earliest version of the Atlassian logo, which I “created” in 2002, was inspired by the sky-holding Greek God Atlas, and the incredible example of legendary service and support that represents. While legendary service is still a core pillar at Atlassian, we’ve grown to embody broader and bigger ideas around teamwork and team potential.

    I’m excited about our new logo for the same reason I appreciate our old one: it’s friendly, human, and reflects our genuine personality.

    I don't know. Ask the idiot who wrote the build script. Or have you never had to work in nonsensical environments?

    I guess I didn't realize you were a little baby infant that is incapable of fixing problems when you come across them.

    I guess cry out for mommy, she'll make it all better.

    What did mommy say about not being allowed to push arbitrary branches to the central server? Was she able to convince you that it's all git's fault that it didn't bend backwards to work around your entirely man-made restriction?

    Did she blame it on git developers being linux users who DIDN"T DO USER TESTING and only implemented silly features practically nobody needs?

    Or perhaps she blamed it on git developers being linux users who have no clue about REAL USERS and features people ACTUALLY need, however esoteric they may be

    @blakeyrat said in Atlassian Rebrands:

    But also not in the ignore file? What would that be? Help my imagination.

    While writing method RealignFroblgarbls() you find and fix a bug on the ShaveWhizzleBombs() method of the same class. You want to commit the fix of ShaveWhizzleBombs() without committing the unfinished RealignFroblgarbls() method. These are on the same file, mind you.

    And actually, I pull all the time without intending to push.

    @blakeyrat said in Atlassian Rebrands:

    Why?

    So that if you ever share code with me (that won't ever happen, I know), I can pull from you without you having my code pushed to your face whether you want it or not. No offense, but... duh!

    Maybe I want to pull important bug fixes to my code without pushing still-broken code. Maybe I have a customized fork that won't ever be merged into that particular repository. I see many reasons.

    I'm surprised you've never bumped into these situations, frankly.

    If you ask people how to use Git they jump directly to "directed acyclic graph". That's not an abstraction, that's some egg-head math term describing exactly how it's implemented.

    • Source control contains snapshots of your working directory.
    • Every single snapshot has typically one, possible more, parent snapshots from which it is based. Except for the root empty snapshot, natch.
    • There are no cycles in this hierarchy. A snapshot can't have been written based on itself, dufus! But there can be crosstalk between branches.

    OMG, this is such a complex, leaky, full-of-math abstraction.

    Wait, you are complaining about 'snapshot' being jargon? And the other one is... what? 'Source control'? 'Working directory'?

    Seriously?

    I am confused here. I am assuming that you aren't complaining that you don't understand it, but I am not sure who you expect would have trouble understanding it in the context with which it is used.

    See, that's sort of the important point here. These revision control tools are meant to be used by programmers - people whose job is, in part, to understand these sorts of intricacies. Yes, it would present a problem for casual programmers, and that's unfortunate, but in this particular time and place they aren't the people it is meant for.

    Current revision control tools only apply to 'source control'. This is a shitty thing, and I personally think we need systems that keep a record of the history of all documents, as transparently as possible, but git is sure as fuck not the tool for that.

    Neither is SVN. Neither is CVS. Neither is Team Fortress Sparkly-vampire-edition. All of these are tools for managing programming tasks involving multiple programmers. It doesn't matter if Grandma gets lost trying to understand it, because it isn't for her.

    Maybe it should be , but right now, no one has a revision control system that is suitable for casual users. I am sure that we could just as easily find 'impenetrable jargon' in the documentation for your beloved TFS that are things any experienced programmer would twig to in a moment despite having a specialized meaning in this context.

    Perforce? SharePo-PFFF AHAHAHA I can't finish that word.



  • @jazzyjosh OK, good point. However, those are the exception rather the rule.

    Also, while they do apply to a lot more types of documents, yu will notice that they are still somewhat specialized. AFAICT, they are not designed for the specific needs of source code revision control. They could be used for it, but they wouldn't be well suited to it.

    Mind you, git isn't well suited for anything. I have to give Blakey that much. But it is serviceable within its particular specialized role.

    I still say these sort of things need to be baked into the document system at the data storage level to do them right. And that's just not going to happen with existing file systems, regardless of platform.

    But in the end, Word of Blakey is complaining about git not because he dislikes git (though he does, and not without reason), but because he is opposed to FOSS on principle (while at the same time being in favor of casual programming - contradiction much?), and git (or rather, GitHub) is a tool that facilitates people doing FOSS without any careful thought or oversight.

    Or maybe because he likes trolling. Or, well, why not both?



  • @scholrlea said in Atlassian Rebrands:

    All three of those things are jargon.

    But why? Millions of users could benefit from having revision control tools, if they were accessible to them. Look up how law firms, or politicians do revision control sometime.

    I fundamentally disagree that this should be normal and accepted.

    1. TFS doesn't exist anymore, it's now VSTS or whatever the fuck they call it.
    2. I don't love TFS. I just think it's better than Git. And I'm upset that Git, which is newer than TFS, is also worse than TFS because I have this basic concept in my head that our industry should move forward when creating new products and not backwards, but silly me.

    @scholrlea said in Atlassian Rebrands:

    That's not true.

    I have no problem with software being free or open source. Like, do you think I suddenly started hating C# once they open-sourced the implementation of it? That doesn't even slightly make sense.

    I have a big problem with "FOSS as a development methodology". You know, following all those moronic bits of wrong stupid advice like:

    • Release early, release often
    • Do one thing and do it well
    • etc.

    This is another language problem where a term is overloaded to mean multiple things and it confuses everybody. Also I'm kind of getting sick of explaining this over and over.

    The reason I hate C#'s direction now isn't because the code is open, but because it's adopted the retarded FOSS development methodology. For example, .NET Core was "released early" even though it doesn't support super-basic functionality like System.Drawing. Everyone needs System.Drawing. Even your dead-simple forum software needs to be able to crop PNGs. Why the fuck was it released without that? Why the fuck does it still not have it a year later? What the fuck are they even doing?

    If C# had been made open source, but then continued to be developed in the careful and well-thought-out manner that it had been developed in the .NET 2.x era, I'd have zero complaints. But that's not what's happening, is it.

    @scholrlea said in Atlassian Rebrands:

    (while at the same time being in favor of casual programming - contradiction much?)

    Casual programming has always been easier in proprietary products. HyperCard, FileMaker, RealBasic, VisualBasic-- all proprietary. (I think RealBasic might be open source now, but.)

    Real simple answer to that. System.Drawing is a bunch of managed wrappers around GDI, which is part of MSVC and therefore not something that's cross-platform. This is like complaining that System.Windows.Forms wasn't ported either. What would have been an actual bad thing would be releasing System.Drawing with only half the functionality.

    That doesn't make it impossible to make a compatible new version using something else. Not even very difficult, since the also-open-source Mono has one.

    You're just making excuses of the type: "it's slightly difficult, therefore we should never do it." Lazy fucker.

    Windows.Forms explicitly says it only applies to windows in the name.

    System.Drawing expliticly says it's supposed to be available in all .NET runtimes in the name.

    So you're comparing apples and oranges. Again: stop making excuses for shitty developers writing shitty software. Demand better.

    The name of a namespace not including 'Windows' does not 'explicitly say it's supposed to be available in all .NET runtimes'. The description, in the documentation, explicitly says it provides managed access to GDI+.

    Right but it shouldn't because that's implementation-detail. This is an extremely basic concept in software development, and it's a shame so many people (including at least one documentation writer at Microsoft) don't understand it.

    What it provides is a library for dealing with image files and formats, and drawing tools for same.

    Whether it's implemented using GDI+, or ... whatever shitty library you use in Linux, or via Indian loom punch cards and a webcam is implementation-detail. We don't care, and shouldn't care, as long as it works.

    If it were meant to be specific to Windows, it'd be called Windows.Drawing. It's not, so it's not. And like I said, the Mono version of same:

    1. Exists, and
    2. Is named System.Drawing and not, for example, Mono.Drawing.
