I am literally sourcing my definition from the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on symbiosis I totally get it. People usually mean "mutually beneficial" when they talk about symbiosis. But the deeper we go into this Hacker News thread, the more amusing it gets to me that multiple commenters are really struggling to acknowledge the broader meaning of the term. And what's even funnier is that the broader meaning probably originates from biologists and ecologists; people who are very invested in precise language in this space.
