Because it has been my experience that programming against a difficult api takes about 2.5 times the effort as programming against an easy one.
And without the benefit of seeing the API spec, I have to provide the entire range.
- michelleM 13y agoThankyou for clarifying, that makes sense. Can I also ask, how your quote is weighted given the project description and time-frame that I stated? Are you using a base rate per hour and then compounding project difficulty or is it only given the project description? I'm a little unsure how such quotes are derived.
- stray 13y agoThe base rate is not directly related to effort. It is instead based on value. Sometimes this makes for easy money. Usually it does not. Almost every programming project turns out to be far more complicated than originally thought.
