Thank you, the key here is Total Cost of Ownership. Can I spend 30k and not replace a thing of 120k, or spend 18k and spend 2k per year on random fixes and deal with things not working. How much time do I spend without my car while these things are being fixed? Do I get stranded on the highway once a year ? Can I hop in and drive across the country? Does it have knee airbags? Does the 200k Honda compare with modern cars on the crash test?

It undermines protections but allows execution of projects that wouldn't otherwise be possible for such a small budget. My company would not exist without the Fiverr contractors i paid early on, hiring devs was a no go. My fiverr devs are efficient and they all negotiate their rate. My specs are clean and actually complete enough to deliver working code that I hook into my existing platform. I'm pretty sure the fiverr devs I pay are making more per hour than they would full time. One difference is that they probable dont have time to bullshit with coworkers or surf reddit half the day.
