We're paid per hour of work.
Also, on today's market, the first to release wins. I know there are some exceptions but whoever wins the market first has clear advantages.
So why is time not a good metric?
And I didn't account for second version effects, that was not my aim.
There are so many visible as well as hidden factors that attempting to measure any (let alone all) of that is a pipe dream.
Also, by writing the second one you are not accounting for second version effects since it is a reimplementation of something you know, and if someone else develops it for you then you just changed a major variable.
I get that you said "oversimplified", but this is just like saying "thought experiment", yet as soon as you confront that to the real world, it just doesn't realistically fly.
