I've been in a similar situation, with a laravel product quoted for over a million and I quoted 40K and did it all.

That did not go down well, even though it was a great product, styled etc. had all the bells and whistles.

Enterprise customers are more likely to use a product that they paid $1M over the same product that they "only" paid $40K.

  • If it was a one-time contract and you get paid for it, what they do next is their problem, not yours.

  • It was a case of pay $1M and take no responsibility vs. set a budget of 40K and own it internally.

    When salesforce leaks your customer's information, whoopsie! not our fault! it's salesforce!

    And yet they're far more likely to have the leak. BASICALLY.

    • In fairness to Salesforce, it was the garbage third party apps in their ecosystem which got compromised and did the leaking, not Salesforce themselves.
