Guest: Andreas, Co-founder of Yasoon

Host: Björn Döhler

In this episode of the BYOD (Bring Your Own Dedication) podcast, Björn sits down with Andreas from Yasoon to explore the story behind building high-quality software integrations between Microsoft and Atlassian products. From the accidental beginnings of their first Jira Outlook add-in to becoming a solution provider in the Atlassian ecosystem, Andreas reflects on the power of dedication, transparency, and continuous improvement.

They dive deep into team culture, onboarding, product evolution, and the trade-offs between speed and quality in modern software development. Andreas shares thoughts on refactoring, AI’s role in coding, and why mediocrity in tech should never be the norm.

If you’re passionate about Agile methodologies, team collaboration, product quality, or building in the Atlassian Marketplace, this one’s for you.

Top Takeaways:

• Yasoon grew organically with a developer-first mindset.

• Company culture favors transparency and development over hard sales.

• AI is helpful, but not a replacement for human creativity.

• Refactoring isn’t optional — it’s key to sustainable progress.

• Dedication to excellence sets products apart in a competitive market.
