why assume the billing model is being imposed by the customer rather than the service provider?

  GP has provided an anecdote with no supporting evidence, nor any code examples. So it is as fair to assume the story is a fabrication as much as it is to assume it has any truth to it

    Yes! You should absolutely always assume a random stranger on HN is outright lying about a trivial anecdote to farm meaningless karma.

      Or instigating conflict?

        What...what conflict do you think I'm instigating, exactly? Whether the command line is a better interface than Excel?

    I am really shocked at the response this trivial anecdote has gotten. I could state it much more generically: we had an annoying Excel sheet that took ~10 minutes a week, I vibe coded a command line tool that brought it down to ~1 minute a week. I don't think this is unusual or hard to believe in any way.
