Do you know how much hardware you can buy for the fully allocated cost of one developer?

In reality how many companies in the world have hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in servers?

Why not choose a high performance language? Maybe it’s easier to find developers in a certain language, maybe the developers are cheaper for a certain language or it may have a better ecosystem.

If I just needed a simple CRUD app and thought I could get a lot of cheap developers I might choose PHP (hypothetically) because I know PHP developers are cheap.
