Everything takes time. Something has (exchange) value if you get given something of value in exchange for it.
Something has (intrinsic) value if you value that thing itself to give value in exchange for it, even if nobody else would give it any exchange value. This could be due to scarcity, sentimentality, or rarity.
Unless you're deeply sentimental about the software you've produced, it has no value.
- jqpabc123 4y agoEverything takes time. Everything that takes time costs money. Why is software an exception? Try telling a carpenter or an auto technician he shouldn't be paid for his work time because "everything takes time". How did software developers take a left turn at reality? it has no value. I really don't care as long as people pay me for it.
