Atlassian is moving several core features from JSM Standard to Premium and I’m excited to announce that our small business has the privilege of paying 2.5x what we currently pay for this innovation
Side-by-side comparison of Jira Service Management Standard and Premium pricing tiers. Standard is $21.42 per user per month, and Premium is $50.56. With a total of 25 users, that is $535.50 and $1,264 per month respectively.

The CLI tool built by @simonwillison.net is still the best imo

It takes tall boots to wade into the chud lake of HN, I don’t blame you. Here’s an example of the product chaos, cperry claims to works at Google
A screenshot of an online forum discussion: The first comment from user "thimabi" expresses disappointment, stating they believe Google Workspace users need to pay an additional $19 per month for a "Gemini for Google Cloud" subscription to use the Gemini CLI. The second comment from user "cperry" corrects this. An edit to the comment reads, "[edit: cperry was wrong] Workspace users can get the free tier as well, just choose 'More' and 'Google for Work' in the login flow." The user also notes that creating a simple, functional flow for all users has been a struggle.

Absolute ghoulishness on Hackernews this morning
A screenshot from a Hackernews post titled “Why is it so hard to find a job now? Enter ghost jobs” and a comment reply from user shmatt: I have to put out a ghost job req and interview every person applying within reason for every green card a direct report is applying for. I have to show there are or aren't any residents or citizens that can fill the job The main problem is: even if the interviewee knocks it out of the park, is an amazing engineer, I still am not interested in firing my OPT/h1b team member who can still legally work for 2-3 years. So while I will deny their green card application and not submit it, I also won't hire the interviewee
