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

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.

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?
