A software engineer who makes $100,000 a year, working 40 hours a week, for 52 weeks, makes about $50/hour.
If this person is spending 2 hours of their time each month maintaining this website (which they gain nothing out of) that's $100/month.
- ksala_ 4y agoI very much doubt they where talking about this, and where instead referring to their hosting costs.
- mosselman 4y agoI detest this meme where supposedly every hour you have is translatable to money. It isn't as if you can sell every hour of your time whenever you feel like it. If it were that way, you'd be able to say: "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month": > A software engineer who makes $100,000 a year, working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, makes about $50/hour. So let's say 1 hour of toilet time per day on average, so: 30 * 50 = 1500. What nonsense.
- someweirdperson 4y ago> "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month" It's a little less (I don't need that long), but most importantly, my boss is paying for most of that.

- detaro 4y agoI think the saying is "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time."
- ilyt 4y agoOn top of that who on earth would price their free time at same as they do their job? My free time is 2-4x the job
