Engineer Worth

Sanity-check your engineering investment decisions

Engineer Worth launched on July 13, 2016 with 6 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

What it does

Value your engineering time and make better product decisions.

I noticed my clients and past co-workers made engineering investment decisions without running the numbers. EngineerWorth is meant to make life easier for my EngineerOverflow.com clients. This is written specifically for CTOs. Engineering managers and engineers will also find this useful. If an engineer's salary is $ k USD ⇆ , their fully loaded cost is x ⇆ , approximately $ USD . This engineer's return on investment should be at least x ⇆ , meaning $ USD annually. We will use this engineer's fully loaded cost as the basis for the rest of our calculations. Drag ⇆ the blue numbers to make adjustments. Your changes do not leave your computer. For reference, Google makes ~$1,200,000 USD in…from engineerworth.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
