It's true, but its great experience for future things when the costs actually matter - I cut my teeth at a biz that refused to pay more for database hardware and now my performance skills pay the bills at much nicer companies.

Surely it's great for you as the developer to get paid extra to learn transferable skills.

That's not necessarily true of the business.

Absolutely, I did not feel it as a positive at the time and recommended not that much more money for significantly better utilization of human time, but you take what you can get with intractable CEOs.
