true i agree on the threshold principle. A minimum time slot or billing is reasonable. But as a client let's say thats just a slice of the entire web-project. And if this simple stuff takes $10/hour x 34 hours. It is steep.
- ido 10y agoWhich programmer rates at $10/hour in salary cost? Here (Germany), this is just about minimum wage. So even a cashier in the supermarket or a street cleaner earns about that or more. EDIT: I guess the situation is different in India (just saw you're based there from your comment history), although I remember reading that even there developer salaries are slowly closing the gap with their western counterparts.
- hoof_marks 10y agoLike i said, I am not disputing the wage or salary as such. However with respect to a custom project it makes it costly. Again compared to having your own people do it using help from the net. As they may not be experts themselves.
