> It is not recommended that you take any contract that pays less than $30,000, and that is working mighty cheap. To work for any amount less would be amateurish. There are guys all over town who will kill a man for $50 to $5000. And the people who hire these thugs usually get exactly what they pay for.

Replace "kill a man" with "launch a product" and "thugs" with "devs" and you get some surprisingly familiar advice.
