No shit.


The fact that you're asking this question indicates that you haven't yet figured out what your market will bear in terms of price. In ANY business the ideal price is one that customers will question but still pay. If they don't question, the price is too low. Keeping your pricing dark is the best way to figure out your numbers at this stage. This is a long winded explanation but the answer to your question is YES! You can set your price at whatever you think the customer will bear. Be confident. If you've got a great product, don't feel bad asking a lot of money for it.


What you describe sounds awful. I'm sorry that you're going through that. Some of the advice already mentioned is good. I would add that everyone needs something outside of work, a social life, hobbies, etc...It doesn't sound like your business suffers if you don't start work first thing in morning. If that's the case, don't worry about it and spend the time from when you wake up on other non-work things. Things that engage your imagination, passions, and body. Then come to "work" in the afternoon refreshed. I wish you the best of luck.


I suppose that's a loss but thousands of people lost homes and everything they owned so I'm having a hard time caring.


"I suppose that's a loss but millions of people are starving to death in Africa so I'm having a hard time caring about some rich people losing some material possessions."

You can care about multiple things at once.


That actually seems rare amongst humans, sadly.


Unicaring is in right now.


At the same time, hundreds were killed in road accidents. Why care about mere property? And that's only Americans. I don't think humans are well equipped to apply our feelings of caring to strangers we hear about on the news because there are far too many of them. We'd be reduced to blithering wrecks if we actually cared about all suffering.


Why can’t both be sad? The world lost history and lots of families lost their personal belonging, houses and possibly friends and/or family member.

I think both are a tragedy.


Also the devastating impact on wildlife... biodiversity loss is also irreplaceable considering this is the only planet we know with life in the universe so far.

If I have this straight, your terms of service grants you exclusive ownership of any work done by a developer in your employ. Correct? What about customers? The projects that you're taking on are driven by client requests. Do they own their website, app, or whatever after the project ends?
