I think a better way to phrase it is that you can get a UI builder for dramatically less than it would take to pay a developer to build one, rather than saying it's "one hour" since, statistically speaking, hardly any developers are making $300,000 a year.

I know he didn't phrase it this way, but one dev hour is probably about right as far as what it actually costs a company.

You have to count the overhead of the system that gets the work to the devs, and 30% on top of salaries for benefits and such.

Cost to company for an employee is not the same as their salary.

And there's no interactions/javascript, all that has to be built out..

I’m really glad there aren’t any interactions tied to a JS library. Building out the interactions are the easy part.
