Atlassian Confluence: Where Documentation Goes to Die

Description

A parody brand image on Confluence's signature blue background. The white 'ATLASSIAN Confluence' wordmark and twin-mountain/page logo are rendered faithfully, but the official tagline is replaced with 'where documentation goes to die'. The joke lands on a universal enterprise truth: wikis like Confluence become write-only graveyards - onboarding docs, architecture decisions, and runbooks are dutifully written, never updated, impossible to find via the infamous search, and discovered three years later describing a system that no longer exists

Confluence offers perfect write availability and absolutely no read consistency.

Or Jira: where companies go to die.
@greyxray 2mo

the question begs to be asked: has anyone here working in a company >50 ppl seen a working documentation/tickets system?
1. @deadgnom32 2mo
  
  yes
2. @deadgnom32 2mo
  
  in small companies <50ppl there is rarely a documentation and usually no ticket system.
3. @TERASKULL 2mo
  
  we use Jira Service Management for tickets, since we already were using Jira
