Chat can be every bit as annoying as email if you and your colleagues aren’t using it right. It’s ironic, really. The whole point of group chat is to be a fast, fun way to communicate. But based on the conventional wisdom around chat etiquette, you’d think sending a quick ping was as delicate as inviting the Queen to high tea.

Few things have more potential for causing stress within software teams than a defective build cycle. Each of us remembers the first time in our careers when our code broke the build. For many of us, there’s still a sigh of relief at each step in the process when nothing blows up. In a perfect world, where we’d all write flawless code with 100% test coverage, builds would be stressless, boring affairs.

Mattermost 5.16 includes new features that will increase team productivity and strengthen security.

Virtually every organization in the world is going through some sort of transformation, whether it’s digital, cultural, or agile. Atlassian customers (and non-customers) come to us for guidance in navigating these changes because they understand that what got them to where they are today won’t get them to where they want to be. They want real-life examples from people on the ground of how to drive their transformations.

You’ve heard over and over how valuable mentors are as you move through your career. You’ve listened to your colleagues’ testimonials. You’ve watched the TED talks. You’re convinced. But what’s less clear is the role of mentorship at this point in your career. Right now. If you went out to seek a mentor today, would you know what you need from the relationship? Maybe, maybe not. And you’re not alone.

The GitKraken Git Client was one of the first software products of its kind to hit the market in August 2014, built by Axosoft developers who were on a mission to find a Git GUI that didn’t suck. One that could quickly show who was doing what, to which file, on any project; one that could help expedite individual workflows and improve team collaboration; one that visually blew the minds of everyone who interacted with it.

For many organizations, messaging-based collaboration isn’t just the most efficient way to work with internal teammates. It may also be the easiest way to communicate with people outside your organization as well. When working with contractors, vendors, or partners, communicating and collaborating together in your messaging system helps streamline work. That’s why we’re happy to announce the beta release of Mattermost guest accounts as part of Mattermost 5.16.
