At least the positive outcome of layoffs is that YouTube gets blessed by people who actually know what they’re talking about.
I came here for a lay off video instead got a system design one?? wth kind of clickbait is this?
We engineered automation that helped with the layoffs .
I'd hire this guy based off of this video...
All the best for an amazing tech career ahead.
This is a well crafted advertisement for this guy, he's using it to pitch himself. He is literally practising his interview answers.
I love this. Please do more. I'm sick and tired of those Leetcode style videos from other devs. We need boots on the ground type videos like these that actually show us what it's like building things people use.
Can't wait for 'The Great Re-Hiring" where we all get to go back to the same job for double the money :)
The cream always rises. Be well sir and thank you for sharing.
Don't sweat it. They are a company that has "ass" in their name.
Imagine being so good at what you do and still getting laid off. Examples like these make me wonder if I should even start diving deep into engineering or look at a different career path, because for me it’s do or die. I’m nowhere near the level you were at when you started at Atlassian. Any tips for me? PS: Wishing you all the very best for your career ahead.
As the intern in question, I gotta jump in. Vas, you're an exceptional mentor, and the very questions you ask yourself at the end are actually big contributors to what made the whole thing work. You gave me space to actually build. And if I hit an area where you weren't a subject expert, you wouldn't shy away from that. Watching someone you regard as brilliant openly accept a lack of domain knowledge is impressive. Directness and humility are among your strongest traits. And to me, that is the first hallmark of any ideal mentor.
Notice how he never said “like and subscribe”. I subscribed
I feel like this guy would be an incredible mentor. Calm, super knowledgable, down to earth, the ability to explain complex things in simple terms *and* the patience do it.
Man that frame in the background...golden
How can I reach that level of knowledge, man? It's amazing to watch smart people talk
Life is interesting. A guy like this got laid off, while a noob like me is still employed. I learned so much from this video. Subscribed!
Having suffered immeasurably from the use of atlassian's products, I am not disappointed to hear that atlassian works on the inside exactly as I imagined, both on a technical and "political"-organizational level.
It’s so crazy to me that you can dedicate eight years of your life to a company and still just get laid off overnight. Here in the Netherlands, there’s a limit of three temporary contracts, usually one year each. After that, the company either lets you go or gives you a permanent contract. In consulting, it’s even common to get a permanent contract right away after a two-month trial period, and regular software companies usually offer a one-year contract followed by a permanent one. A permanent contract here basically means you legally can’t be fired unless you commit a serious offense, break your contract, or severely underperform — and I don’t mean just slacking off a bit, but literally not delivering or cooperating for weeks on end. That almost never happens. Only real deal-breakers can get someone fired.
Hey man, does this mean my 10-15 year old Atlassian tickets arent going to be looked at by Atlassian? 😂
