"I could do this 3x cheaper myself if I set my hourly rate at 0$/hour" is a more accurate description of reality.

"We do these things, not because they are easy, but because we think they are easy"
Such an easy thing to say.
Then when I say it and think "I really just need a little bit of what this does, and this API is kinda complicated for that." and I go and start creating the thing it evolves and changes and "Hey this looks a lot like that complicated API ... ooooooohhhhh I see why that is what it is... this is going to take a long while."
It's just so easy to boil down something into something simple and think that's all it is, but do even that thing reliably and all the corner cases and other things you need, suddenly you find it is way more than your initial poo pooing if whatever the thing is.
