Yeah - to be clear, this was a senior dev with no mobile experience and two recent bootcamp grads just trying to do well at their first job with no time or money to get it done. It was something like $60k spread across the three of them over a 2-month contract. I think they did the best they could in their circumstance. That 60k was what Iowa paid, so you can imagine Shadow did not pass it all to the 3 devs.

Edit: my recollection was a bit off on the numbers. This is a great thread on this topic - twitter.com/CoreyAdler/status/1225...
