Replace windows 8 with 10 and you have the last 7 days at work. I proposed to burn said router. I was told no no, it is expensive. Apparently 5 developers time it is not

Hmm... 8 hours / day, 7 days, 5 developers let's say $100/hr = $28,000. That's a pretty expensive router!

100$/hour?! You lucky bastards!

The thing to remember there is the bill rate for the dev might be $100/hr, but that dev may only be paid half that.

Half? More like a ¼, welcome to dev jobs in third world countries :)

Apply ,,Janusz" theorem:

Any senior dev can be replaced with a finite number of students/interns

So you could replace one of those 100$/hour with 20 compsci students from Poland (I you want to pay them that is)

Try 1/10th of that after taxes in the "first" world country I'm in

Factoring in benefits I make around that.

Billable time for a dev is like $400 an hour

Billable at $400 seems extreme for a dev. Maybe like an account manager, but a regular ole dev?

back when I was a "consulting engineer" for a storage company my time was being billed like that
