Right.. but 54 million..
Lets half that 27 million..
Wage for a UX expert ~ 200k/year
Wage for a rails (or elixir or python) dev ~ 200k/year
Wage for a Data person (AI stuff) ~ 200k/year
Let's half the 27 again.. 13 million. OR => 65 full time staff to build an app.
I agree, it is harder to design something. But at 1/4 the cost one could hire 30 UX experts and 30 devs.. I mean come on.. Really?
Regarding security.. they could have daily PEN testing by a dozen companies and the cost wouldn't be close.
