The problem Atlassian sends a lot of email to its 25,000+ customers. In […]
Stash 2.5: Public access to projects and repositories

“I was so excited, I nearly pee’d on the rug.” That line always gets a laugh when people ask me how I came to work at Atlassian. (Yes, that’s at–not for. You’ll see what I mean.)
