Using the analogy of a car, I’m not buying ANY car but a SPECIFIC car with features and quality that meet my requirements. My client is not getting ANY code, but featured and performant code. My client is fed up with basic code, they want “quality” and are paying appropriately for it. So yes, there are clients that pay for “quality” code because they do want more than just a solution.
- duncan-donuts 3y agoNah I think the OP post still works here. You might have requirements of a car that only some niche manufacturer can meet because you have a very specific problem to solve. Let’s say you’re in a wheelchair and you need a vehicle that is accessible for you. Your solution you’re paying for is more specific than others.

There might be people that DO want those intermediate outputs (other car builders, hobbyists) but not the usual car-buyer, even one with very-specific needs. The one exception to this might be, the car-buyer that does intend to heavily modify their vehicle, might value to the availability its creative inputs so that modification later on is easier.
