I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I’m not going to ask my developer - who I pay $2000 a day - to spend 10 days optimising my codebase to avoid an extra $5000 in server costs. It doesn’t matter if they’re a 10xer or a 1xer, their time always has a price tag.

That doesn't fit in my accountant's brain at all. $20k one off cost vs $5k recurring cost could mean anything if you omit the time period! $5k a year depends on your cost of capital, $5k per month is a no brainer

  The way I read the comment is $20k cost for a dev to optimize vs. $5k / yr cost in server, making it 4 years until you break even.

    It is still not clear if that is a good or a bad thing. It depends on your circumstances

>who I pay $2000 a day American salaries sound great.

  That's $730 000/year assuming work every day, and $500k assuming 5 days a week plus $30k for holidays.

  That’s not a typical American salary. $250 per hour is specialist pay, consultant pay, or overpaid.
