A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy. That same quarter, Atlassian's revenue hit $1.79 billion, a record.
His name is Vasilios Syrakis. He worked in Sydney on Atlassian's digital plumbing: the system that handles the company's web traffic, made up of about 2,000 programs running across 13 regions of the world. Every time someone clicks on Atlassian's software, the system Syrakis worked on decides which of those servers answers. Atlassian's own engineering blog wrote about his team's work in February 2025. On Sunday, Syrakis walked through the whole architecture on YouTube, every box on the diagram.
The financial picture doesn't fit the layoff story. Atlassian's cloud business grew 29% year over year last quarter. The company has 350,000 customers, including 80% of the Fortune 500. None of that looks like a company that needs to cut a tenth of its staff to "self-fund AI investment," as the CEO put it in March.
In the six months before the layoffs, CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes sold 866,145 of his own shares for roughly $134 million. Co-founder Scott Farquhar sold exactly the same number on the same schedule. The board also approved spending $2.5 billion to buy back Atlassian stock from the market, a move that props up the share price. The shares still fell 56% this year. Investors think AI lets companies do more work with fewer employees, and Atlassian charges its customers per employee.
Sam Altman called this practice "AI washing" in February. Of the 1.2 million American jobs cut in 2025, only 55,000 blamed AI. The rest had different reasons, or none at all. The engineer who helped build Atlassian's plumbing is now teaching the internet how it works, for free, because he no longer has a paycheck to protect.

Luka Dončić reportedly does NOT want the Lakers to trade Austin Reaves for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @TheAthletic
“Multiple league sources said that belief was best illustrated when Doncic told people within the organization that he wouldn’t want Reaves included in any potential trade packages for Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo. Doncic, those sources say, would strongly prefer a team construction that includes him and Reaves alongside whatever star the Lakers could acquire.”

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time.
Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output.
Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable.
Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second.
Am I wrong ?
