Dave Meyer, Atlassian
This conversation focuses on artificial intelligence and its role in the software development lifecycle. Ming Wu of Atlassian, head of engineering for DevAI, joins theCUBE Research hosts Alison Kosik and Christophe Bertrand at Atlassian Team '26 to discuss how Atlassian builds AI-native capabilities. Wu outlines work on coding agents, reviewers and the teamwork graph and explains how graph-based connectors such as Rovo and context engineering help agents navigate enterprise content and repositories to support the full software lifecycle. Key takeaways include that coding becomes increasingly commoditized while developers spend approximately 16% of their time writing code and 84% on context, reviews and alignment, according to Wu. They emphasize that solving shared context through context engineering and graph-based orchestration is essential to unlock productivity gains, enable AI-native engineers and foster more cross-disciplinary collaboration across product and engineering teams. The discussion highlights practical approaches to improve developer productivity across the SDLC and to scale intelligent coding agents and code review capabilities.
