Hey CDC, I’ll build your website for half that price. By myself. And it will work. Just uh, hit me up haha

It’s insane how far those unfamiliar with software will take the mythical man month. Nonono throwing money and people at your problem is absolutely not guaranteed to solve it better.

My offer is of course a joke, well unless they want to talk specifics and I agree it’s reasonable to take on myself. Or just plain reasonable.



are you also going to answer the phone calls and e-mails of thousands (potentially millions) of technology illiterate users?


I mean with $22M on the line I’m willing to at least investigate a means of doing so.


I actually think Cory the boyd could probably figure it out.


Lol thank you for your blind faith :p
