Raising millions in minutes: Atlassian & Room to Read help underprivileged children

Quick Tip: Getting Emacs and IntelliJ to play together
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m gradually working towards my grey-beard badge so for most of my programming I tend to use Emacs. However when I moved into the order-systems team I adopted IntelliJ IDEA, which is our weapon of choice for Java development at Atlassian. This is because while Emacs is a great text editor, IntelliJ takes a holistic and […]
Tip of the week: Configure your Java version in Tomcat
During my tour of duty providing support for our Tomcat and Java based behind-the-firewall apps, a common concern was the effect of updating Java or the JVM in the host after installing the product, and how it may affect a running production system.

Webinar recap: How Twitter reduced email support volume by 80% with Jira Service Desk
We hosted a webinar with Alex Stillings from Twitter about how they use Jira Service Desk. We got a lot of questions right afterward (hundreds of them!) and as hard as we tried to answer each one, we didn’t have the ability to answer them all in the limited time we had. We wanted to make sure that everyone still got answers, so after reviewing the questions, we posted the most common ones along with our answers.
Bitbucket snippets for teams are here with a rich set of APIs
We’re thrilled to announce Snippets, available now in Bitbucket, where you can create and manage multi-file snippets of all kinds. We took a different approach than standard pastebin or gist and we built Snippets around teams. Snippets can be shared with your team, made private to you, or fully public; you control read and write privileges. If you create a snippet owned by your team, the snippet will stay with the team forever, even after you leave that team.

Teams that use Bitbucket often want to share important information that isn’t part of their project repository – favorite regexes, config files, code snippets, homebrew recipes (beers, and the package manager). And yes – image, audio, video, and a host of other MIME types. Currently, there is no way to share such information via Bitbucket. […]
