From the study itself (n.b. the context is a description of a pilot study, not the final study) : > Fifteen developers made an application for the project. Their compensation proposals ranged from €55 to €166 and the expected working time ranged from 1 to 15 days So best case scenario these are freelancers with a day rate of €11 (???) - €166. Assuming these are workers in countries with low costs of living... These are still ridiculously low sums. But, these are people who make their living writing software. Ergo, lots of software actually gets written by people like this. Easy to forget that when working with 'proper' developers.
