Rule of thumb for “fully loaded” employee cost(inc benefits etc) is 2x salary. So double the cost side :) As you say, engineering staff costs outweighs app server costs by so many multiples it’s crazy. Now modern data eng/warehouse stacks on the other hand, those are money fires :) |

No but I totally need a 100k+ contract (plus extra for runtime costs) to do…database stuff that…uhh, no other column based database is uhh, totally capable. Yeah. /s
Also we totally gotta buy these other data tools, because all of our “data” people refuse to learn even basic code, and can only write sprawling notebooks.
Oh plus gotta pay for some databricks/dbt to run my sprawling notebooks on huge machines because our Python based runtime is single threaded, can’t utilise the full CPU properly and requires silly amounts of memory, but it’s ok because “developer velocity” let us put an incomprehensible notebook into production a whole 15 seconds faster.
