so you are saying $500/hour is industry average? Hackeronymous mentioned that he charged $100k for a 1000 hour work which he could have done in almost 1/6th time if he was experienced. I am not sure about the industry average, but I work through guru/elance/odesk and average seems to be $50-$150 for an experienced developer.

No, in the example on this thread Laurent, a Belgian programmer, charged $ 500 USD for the whole solution, the whole shebang. (He could have just given it away for free, since the main point was to establish a reference)

Although, I admit... this example is really just a CRUD app, with no advanced server back end.
