Re: You can have programmers sitting in your company office cranking up thousand lines of code per hour and you can charge at least $1.00/LOC.

Mike:

You just lost me there. I agree that 160/hr is not all that much. Several years ago when I worked at Oracle, I was charged out for at least that much, but who, other then silver-bullet tool vendors base there daily or hourly rate on LOC. Please clarify? ... no wait ... never mind.
I'm pretty good as a contractor, but I do not crank out 1K lines per hours. If I were lucky I might be able to read this many line per hour. At first I was sympathetic since many people beat you up rather then argue with your points but now I am beginning to see why.

Regards

Tom

ps: apologies to the thread for responding to this guy, I will not do it again. Sakra! I broke ny resolution #312 posted in the FBNA clubhouse.

Pss: cost of lodging, transportation, phone bill, per diem pay, is normally on top of hourly rate.

psss: I personally know of projects put on hold until y2k is resolved within the organization. So why are they hiring more people? Look at the skill set they are asking for and you will understand.
