Posted to It cost $4,309.00 every time you provide design feedback, in reply to Gabriel Lovato , Aug 29, 2014 Posted to It cost $4,309.00 every time you provide design feedback, Aug 28, 2014 A lot of folks are asking about the math breakdown. So here it is:
- 3 employees discussing design at $110/k/y or $43/h napkin
- 1 founder discussing design at $90/k/y or $36/h napkin
Total: $165
3 days of work to follow: - 1 designer making edits — $903 - 2 working on projects related to said design — $1806
Total: $2874
- ~2 hour meeting to discuss, examine, make notes, etc. — $335
Total: $3,209.00
- Opportunity cost of founders 3 hours — $1,100 napkin (safe bet, based on potential hourly value not pay)
Total: $4,309.00
Please note this is generally napkin math based on my own experiences & numbers. It is generally impossible to get an exact number but you can get very close.
Posted to Bitcoin SMS alerts, Dec 30, 2013 Was only a 1-day hack project we did. Thought I would share it so everyone on here can reap the benefits of buying Bitcoin when its low. And/or selling when its high. Visual design is lack-luster, but the job is done.
Posted to December DN Meetups in the SF Area, Nov 15, 2013 I'll only go if I can recruit people and ask about layer styles and how epic someone can make an icon for my apps. #joking
Posted to AMA: I'm Luke Beard, I design at Elepath and I'm building Exposure. Previously I've worked on Buffer, Hipstamatic and WillCall., Nov 14, 2013 This is a legit idea. That's all I want to say.

Posted to How this designer learned to code with Ruby on Rails, in reply to Vincent Milliken , Feb 28, 2013 Glad to see more resources. With each resource it's a different style of learning. I think it's important people choose which works best for them. Awesome Vincent!

Depending on who your investors are and your relationship with them is — yes. Founders are incentivized through their equity stake and the value of the Company. Though, I don't completely agree with this older methodology.
