This article made me want to go break my own knees due to the horrible flaws because you're comparing development to a finished product.
The butcher gets paid per kilo for the finished product which is exactly how software models do currently work.
If at github I want multiple users in my organization I pay PER user.
What this article is trying to imply is that the butcher model can be applied to development as in while the development of the product is being made you're paid only if you deliver.
The problem with this entire article is that the farm is what is the software development NOT the butcher. The farm has to start from nothing, get the cattle, absorb all costs, raise the cattle and when everything is ready & done THEN go out to sell it but during this time the farmer has to pay everyone involved in the process.
