Honestly, for a custom app from one of the largest corporations (IBM), for the largest of organisations (US Govt), $336k is pretty reasonable!

- AndyNemmity 11y agoSeriously. 336k is absolutely nothing. Think about how fast that gets used up adding up the numbers of the per hour of those involved, and how many people it is (not just the developer who does it) You can argue that you don't need that many people, and certainly for a start up that's often true. But in enterprise software, you actually do need a ton of people because of the expectation. I'm in the Business and came from start ups. I'd VASTLY prefer to do things in small groups to just get things done. But even though I want that, no one else does, including the customer. They want all the bells and whistles of a ton of people. It makes no sense at all. Hell, one of my current projects has about 20 people on a phone call, and 4 that actually understand anything going on. Think about all the money wasted in all of that, and yet... It's the way business "works".
