If you can't get your pricing page right you have to wonder what else is a mess under the hood at Atlassian

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

Ah yes when the system thinks you owe them 0.0000000001

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

Generally decicents (10 decicents = 1 cent) makes all normal currency calculations much easier/reliable. If you need lower resolution use millicents or microcents

“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.

I'd say first try for yourself instead. I have, for over a decade, and while it's pretty slow and has some annoyances: it's not quite bad enough to hate for me, the alternatives aren't that much better and mostly have other annoyances, and it can get the job done.

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.

If you've ever used JIRA, I'd say getting paid to use their software is beneficial for both parties...

For $1.5B / month I’d use Jira. But only for a month.

Longest month ever.

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

I'd bet that the current price of $0/month would be valid in court.

However they did not state for how long is offer valid, so they will be able to change pricing tiers later.

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

OK I recognize that, currently dealing with a salesforce product that is painfully slow. Seems the company that purchased that solution can't do anything about it.
