> The apparent simplicity of some code has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the amount you should charge for it. Yes it should. If I know someone w/my same talents can come along and knock the same functionality out in a few hours it's going to make me push the price-barrier down so someone does't just come along and eat my lunch. As an engineer my value is VERY tied to my time, and when I'm doing dev on my own business/products I am fully cognizant of this. Anecdotal I know - but the word "undercut" is popular in pricing conversations for a reason... aaand I've been undercut by another engineer copying my product for a cheaper price before. |

If you believe your time is worth $250/hour then you're going to leave a lot of money on the table when a customer comes along who values the solution you can implement at $500/hour.
