While working from home is the new normal, communicating and collaborating virtually hasn't become any easier. And for developers, being productive while at home has its own set of challenges (we're thinking of things like figuring out how to pair program over Zoom or how to make do with only a single monitor). In times like this, our engineering team has been relying on one short-cut towards productivity: the Bitbucket Cloud bot for Slack.

When COVID-19 hit in the spring and schools quickly transitioned to remote learning, we saw in real-time how important IT departments in education are. It was IT’s quick thinking that helped administrators, teachers, and students continue in their learning environments.
