So, to relate this back to the original article – all these people interviewed started with low prices at the beginning and built up their profile, raising their rates along the way. I look at that and think, well that's a good and clearly proven model, and it makes sense why it works that way. I don't look at it and think, well they should have started out with higher prices right from the start, since clearly they were worth it all along!

Emphasis on "too little" in my comment leading up to your reply.

And it's not about what they are worth it's about what the solution is worth to the person buying. Almost always more than the developer/worker thinks their time is worth.
