> $1.3 Million US dollars
Whoah whoah whoah what... Okay, I have no doubt it costs a ton to make this but can someone tell me how they got the contracts in order to actually produce this? Who needed this and who committed to pay upfront before it was fully developed?
[But omg these insufferable oscilloscope UIs. Please stop with this shit and just simplify it. We don't need fake bevels and ugly gradients.]
- verall 4y agoSome people work on very high speed serdes or busses. Imagine you have a hardware group of around 150 people led by a director, like 10-15 middle managers, some PMs, etc. Total comp for employees ranges from like 80k/yr for the team in a low CoL country to over 500k/yr for the director and tech leads. With support, offices, labs, sw, the group might cost like $150mm/yr. A few speed scopes just get budgeted in.
