I think I did mention how Jira is affected by the Enshittification, right? Below is my summary, how is your impression of the new Jira world?
Back in the day we used to have:

✅ Independent Jira hosted severs

✅ Public Jiras indexed by search engines

✅ Media files hosted by the Jira server as is

❌ No Markdown support

Now we have:

❌ One Atlassian cloud that hosts all Jiras

❌ Public Jiras not being indexed by search engines

❌ Media files are recompressed by Jira, not matter how good your compression is

❌ Media files are no longer directly linkable, it forces upon you a Javascript viewer

✅ Markdown support

Not to mention the overall perceived slowness of the new Jira world. 🫠

Anyway, I had the same issue as you with the Fedora Jira whilst logged with my Qt Jira account. Then I went to a Private Browser Window and I was able to access the public Fedora Jira link.

I used to work in Romania for outsourcing companies. It's not like we cared that much about the projects. I remember a case when some guy left the company, some guy replaced him, but kept using the same email. Outsourcing will not disappear. Somebody will still have to do the prompting.

This was done before with outsourcing. Now we're outsourcing to an LLM. For now we still have the source code. Some people would want to skip this and get the LLM produce ... machine code directly. Fun times ahead.

Are there software licenses that prohibit AI training and perhaps even using the code in projects that use AI agents and LLMs? Asking for a friend. But seriously, that could be a great way to secure developer jobs esp if it would in place before LLMs got trained on all our open sourced code
