Portland Sucks posted:You do realize there are about an infinite number of API's in use out there right? It isn't reasonable at all to ever say "I find it hard to believe that an established company full of programmers had no one on staff who had set up [literally any API] for a client before." You beat me to it. And yes research is billable. Software development is 80% research anyway; it's a creative endeavor and every device or system you integrate with has guaranteed found an exciting and unique way to break from common conventions, leave out features you'd expect them to have, and otherwise function in a way you don't expect. This poo poo is almost never plug and play despite the fact that every single software product's Marketing Website Featuring Three Boxes tells you it is. A good developer is one that CAN learn whatever system or piece of tech a company wants to use (usually without actually consulting ahead of time with anybody who has to do the work), not one that already knows it. It costs because it's hard and most people can't do it at all.
