He explains it as if the project only costs him money. However, it also helps build his resime/image, which may contribute to him being able to ask such a high rate ($250/hour).
- dmitri1981 10y agoOpportunity cost is still a cost. If he was not working on the project he could be billing clients for that time
- Anasufovic 10y agoYes, but the point being is that if he wasn't the core maintainer would he still get that same rate?
- ekryski 10y agoExactly. Even at 20 hours a week you're looking $20k/month. As a freelancer that is a great rate with little overhead. There is no doubt that being the author of Hapi is a major reason why he can charge that rate. I get being burned out and/or wanting support but not recognizing the correlation just comes across as entitled.
