Would you mind giving an example of the type of value based pricing you're talking about? What kind of metrics do you use to determine the value you provide to the client? Is it as simple as "this feature has increased sales by X%"?

Not really my product to defend. It does more than sleep tracking for $30/mo, however.

Apologies for being off topic, but I'm looking to attempt the opposite transition. Go from Big Co to self-employed consultant and would love to pique your brain about your journey if you'd be willing to field a few questions of mine at some point?

[Whoop](
https://www.whoop.com/) has a lot of buzz right now and offers some interesting looking sleep insight. I haven't used one myself yet so I can't speak from personal experience.

I love HN for the fact that tired, low effort, comments like this are far less common.

I'd guess it goes something like, "We have 75 petabytes of data to move over and would like to use your services but are concerned about costs. What kind of prices can you give us?".

If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what kind of work you provide to clients when hired to consult.

Tis editable, albeit difficult to find, in case you weren't aware (click timestamp of the comment you'd like to edit).

on: Ask HN: How to be less argumentative online?
In the short time I've been applying this technique I've found my comments are either an attempt to add my own notes of clarification to the subject at hand or as a tool to help concrete a concept related to the subject; a sort of a repetitive reinforcement of the concept.
For me, at least, it's less a coping mechanism and more a mindset I've found to be more constructive
both online and off.

This seems effective for some things but falls short in cases where things aren't so black and white (most?).

I came across a comment on HN not too long ago that really resonated with me. The commenter mentioned that they do not comment to have a conversation with the OP. Instead, they treat commenting as writing notes about the topic at hand. Because of this, they don't expect responses or anticipate an argument (or even conversation). They mark down their thoughts and move on. It's been a really effective mindset for me thus far ad has shaped my responses for the better.

I like it! Im having a hard time coming up with solid indicators that Im debugging or otherwise in focus mode that wouldn't also be red herrings for other activity. Have you come up with any good examples for yourself?
