Even at 10,000 units that's barely enough for one developer.

Why? That's $10^5... that's... that's a high salary for 33 years!

Huh?

With the current Euro / US$ exchange rate (€1 = $1.48) , $100k are about
€67.6k.

Depending on exactly what kind of cost you include in the calculation (office
space, general organizational management), this will pay for roughly one
man-year in Germany.

33 years? What kind of developer would you like to hire for that kind of
money?

With a salary of 30000€ (I used € for my calculations, or $=€) per year, which is a high salary here for a supervisor in my country, that makes

 10^4 * 10€ / 30000€ = Oops, 3.3

I forgot that in the calculator parlance 10^5 is 1E5, not 10E5, sorry. I must have been half sleep at the moment O:-)


In $, the salary would be $20E3, making for 4.9 years. Or, if I assume a salary of $30E3, that would be 3.3 years. If you say that's too low a salary, mine as developer was 8000€/y not too long ago. Even now, many people here don't reach 1000€/month.

And one developer has no organization at all, and works at home or in a corner :-p
