Is this the case with Flowglad? We have a SaaS with a monthly team seat fee + usage fees, but we also offer a bespoke service where we may bill per hour or bill per project (for work done and delivered inside of the SaaS). So these would be higher ticket.
Would you support this?
And pointing out that we're in a 'semantic debate' while simultaneously insisting on your own semantic framework (capabilities vs solutions) is exactly the move you're critiquing.
That being said, the Wikipedia page definitely needs work.
And it's ironic your account is from 2008 and you don't know that's exactly how Hacker News started, a del.icio.us inspired, social link bookmarking service.
That's why when you click submit there's a message on the bottom thats reads:
"You can also submit via bookmarklet." Which if you click: https://news.ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html, speaks about adding a shortcut to your browser toolbar so....
so...
so...
so you can bookmark via Hacker News.

> The Negro In Business is a book written by Booker T. Washington, a prominent African American leader and educator, that explores the history and current state of black entrepreneurship in the United States. The book discusses the challenges faced by black business owners, including discrimination, lack of access to capital and resources, and limited opportunities for education and training. Washington also highlights the successes of black entrepreneurs, including their contributions to the economy and their role in building stronger communities. Through personal anecdotes and statistical analysis, Washington offers a comprehensive overview of the state of black business in America at the time of the book's publication in 1907. The book serves as a valuable historical document and a testament to the resilience and determination of black entrepreneurs in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
Would have been better investing $5M each in 20 new promising directors.
Spinning up test after test, tweaking parameters, chasing that "it works!" high, that's what debugging has always been.
You're doing the exact same thing with your code that you're criticizing him for doing with AI. Same sunk cost fallacy ("I've already spent 3 hours, might as well get it working"), same illusion of control, same "I'm on a roll" feeling when the tests finally pass.
The only difference is speed. He gets micro-hits every 10 seconds watching tokens stream. You get them every time you re-run your test suite. Same gambling structure, same reward circuit lighting up, you've just normalized yours because it happened slowly enough to not look like a slot machine.
And you're the one reducing it to "gambling" unless you're claiming human developers experience zero dopamine and write code with omniscient correctness the first time. If they don't, if there's iteration, failure, reward, then you're describing the same neurochemistry. You've just decided it only counts as "gambling" when it makes you uncomfortable.
