049 - Software Costs

How much does software cost? How do you know if you can afford to build what you want to build? In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss how to figure out your fully burdened cost and then use that rate as a way to judge costs. Not just money, but money over time, which becomes critical in a product mindset where we have to maintain and enhance what we build. Your hosts also discuss making bets, build vs. buy, expensive meetings, eliminating waste, and capital expenditures.
