Atlassian + Anthropic? Lots of chatter in the usual SF coffee shops that Anthropic is in advanced talks to buy Atlassian. Hearing institutionals and Mike and Scott want $150 a share, all cash. Guess that explains why they closed Austin office and moved everything to SF. Interested to hear what everyone thinks about this. Upside: Tight integration, Confluence/JIRA getting the latest models probably for free. Downside: Probably some redundancies. submitted by /u/TurbulentTiger2567 [link] [comments]
