Well spoken! Thank you for the perspective.

I guess I'm dumbfounded as to why developers want anything to be free, considering isn't their salaries paid based upon revenue from the products they create? I get it, it's cool to be able to download a free copy of vscode, and code in .NET and not pay a dime for it, meanwhile apps on the mobile app-store are considered expensive if you pay more than $1.99 for it.. You can't even buy a developer a candy bar for $1.99, so if not for money then what's the point? Devs on freelancer begging to take your job for a few bucks an hour, downloaded their tools for free, watched videos from udemy for 98% off, youtube tutorials.. Someone could have been paid a lot of money for almost everything out there that's free, I just feel like we're racing to the bottom. Any additional perspectives? I still think $2500+ is a lot, but man.
