I wonder if any legal minds here could comment on whether they owe me $1.5billion if I sign up for this. Technically it's an offer with consideration that I'm accepting, and happy to pay $-1.5billion for this service, even though I know that trying to get this to stand up in court would be a fools errand.

There are all sorts of things in law about “reasonable persons” and contracts needs to be beneficial for both parties. I am sure this would not be binding.

How about the current price of 0$/month? At least for the standard tier?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Under the hood they might prefer to do accounting in floating point. BigDecimal isn't meant for true programmers.

My life got infinitely easier once I learnt the financial world all use integers in cents to do their money calculations.

Not all, many situations make use of prices and calculations in the fractions of a cent. For example forex trading, or even gas stations.

“JIRA acknowledges that it is a net negative to humanity”

So much hate everywhere for this product, I'm glad I don't use it.

Most people hate the enforced workflows from their employers. But as every modern web"app" the site is also slow as hell.

Interesting that it is the sequence from 2-9 backwards
