   If you own a resource that is desired and paid for by usage then that's your income and the open market determines the money thing (price)

   What on earth is Simon whittering on about?

      bro this is HN, the "open market" where willing customers can choose whether or not to buy a service is the root of all evil here.

         It doesn’t matter who is offering the service, or even if it’s free: HN will criticize it.

         Good.

      A bunch of vendors provide this exact feature already, so I'm clearly not weird in wanting it.

      About desire to have hard caps, to avoid runaway costs for example due to misconfiguration.

      This may happen also without vibecoding.

      Article seemed clear on that?

      This is about budget caps (“I don’t want to spend more than $100, cut me off once I spend that much”) not price caps (“no one is allowed to charge more than this price per token”).

      > What on earth is Simon whittering on about?

      Guy seems to have lost his mind to AI psychosis and is just posting unmitigated obvious low-grade crap of late, which gets picked up here by his fan base.

      whttering / wittering: To chatter, babble, or ramble on at length about trivial matters. About right.
