A browser doesn’t count as a significant business integration?
It seems to me the author’s meaning of business integration is pretty clear: “profitable workplace integrations, such as a serious integration with Microsoft office suite or the google workplace suite.”—integrations tailored to a particular company’s offerings. A browser is not business-specific nor workplace-specific.
I don’t usually venture into LessWrong culture or “feels” issues, but the above comment seems out of place to me. As written, the comment seems more like something I would see on Hacker News, where someone fires off a quick quip or a zinger. I prefer to see more explanation here on LW. I’m in some ways a HN refugee, having seen too many low-effort ping-pong sniping contests.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t interpret the comment as a “zinger”. While I thought I explained what I meant by “significant business integration”, at least 2 other people upvoted the original comment, so I can only assume I didn’t explain my point maximally well.
I’m happy the comment was made, and think that sometimes a short question can get to the point better than a long one.
