I have. New account, greenfield project, the org had never touched it before, and we only had a double-digit number of issues. Every page load still took 30+ seconds.
Jira Cloud?
Yup. About a year ago.

#162Congrats to the OP! One lesson in these graphs that is very important to internalize is how spiky they are. When you're small, you'll make most of your money on a few special days, based on events that might be out of your control. Given that dynamic, it can be hard to distinguish cause from effect, let alone layer on things like A/B tests or other statistical analysis that might hold for things at bigger scale.
You're totally right. From the moment I published this post to now (15 hours period), I made $4,833.16 in sales, which is completely insane. Dealing with the highs and, more importantly, the lows is what differentiates success from failure.
I agree that equanimity is important, but a more significant factor that differentiates success from failure is succeeding.

I can't emphasize enough how important Purchasing Parity Power is. Making it affordable for other countries is crucial.
Do you've any resource country wise pricing for digital products and services (or how does a large company does it) (not big mac index)
I've looked into different resources to come up with my own numbers. This was a great reference: paritybar.com

And it's ripe for a lightweight alternative that gets customers that want the fast, basic set of bug tracking features. Jira is horrific.
Especially now that Jira is removing it's self hosted option, someone should be able to come and fill that niche. It'd be surprising to me if that niche is unmaintainable these days.
The irony isn't lost on me, that at a previous employer, back in the early 2000s, I introduced the self-hosted version of Jira in to the company, because the alternatives were so bad and slow.
How history repeats itself.

I find the most common source of Jira-hate is a combined refusal to leave many of its features on the table by management and general ignorance about how little Jira actually imposes on you by the gangpressed users. Most of that bloat you have to deal with? Blame your bosses, not Atlassian.
I used Jira last year for a project at my work, set up a totally new environment and it ran like garbage. Each page load took seconds and every task required several page loads, often had to do a few extra because the UX was rather horrid and had to look for stuff.

Do you know that it is the same people holding these conflicting stances? Seems like HN is a big place, room enough for both cheap devs and more well-heeled devs.
There is a large contingent on HN who are both rich and cheap, so I don't think this holds any water
According to your made up metrics?

So special request. Would you consider making a theme for the Nova text editor by Panic? It’s my go to lately!
The open source version is here https://draculatheme.com/nova In the next couple of weeks, I should add the premium version on Dracula PRO ;)
Btw, purchased!
Special request number 2, can you make a ZSH theme that doesn't require Oh-my-zsh? I hate using so much bloat when all I want is a cool terminal.
