Please stop criticising people for charging money for their work. You don't do that to a doctor you visit, you don't do that to a taxi driver, why do you do that to a fellow programmer?
- vntok 8y agoYou would criticize a doctor who would order expensive unwarranted scans, or a taxi driver who would take longer routes than needed. In other words you would criticize people who charge you for services that don't address your needs.
- mcguire 8y agoLikewise, don't criticise a taxi driver because you can drive yourself.
- prepend 8y agoI’m not criticizing OP per se, just pointing out that I don’t think it’s that valuable. If my doctor said ve wanted to change my $10 visit to $100, I would certainly not use that. That’s not a criticism of the doctor. Time costs money and that’s a reality. People want to make money off their business, that makes sense. But saying there’s a floor value to anything just because a human makes it is a bit odd. If OP hires a second person, does that mean we shouldn’t criticize the price doubling? As a user, I don’t care much for expenses above a base level of ethical practices and sustainability. I’ve not used lots of products because I didn’t find them viable because of their price vs cost. But I’m sometimes wrong.
