For the mathematically challenged, it comes out to 500 people working for a year at $200/hour.
Really not that outrageous for a project of this magnitude.
Except, of course, for the fact that it doesn’t work.
That’s a lot for such a minor website
For those of us who are not in the least mathematically challenged, a million hours divided by 5,000 years comes out to 200 hours per year, and dollars per hour does not enter into this particular calculation.
Or 5,000 at $20/hour. That would fit better with the outsourcing to Canada / India / etc.
