10 cents for 1 million boilers is only 100k. That's about the price of an additional engineer, so it may very well be worth it to move up in abstraction instead

- scoutt 4y agoWhat should I do with an extra engineer? Should I hire one just for the sake of moving up in abstraction? 100k saved is 100k earned. Half a Ferrari.
- sudosysgen 4y agoIt's exactly the reverse. You need fewer engineers because it's going to be much easier to write the same code at a higher level of abstraction. So you can have that engineer work on something that's going to make you revenue, or hire one less dev.
