It all comes down to money.

Doing the programming yourself, which I do, does not save money!
NO FUCKING WAY!
The cost in "work hours" will always exceed any pre-made script cost.

A $50 script can have $30,000 of programming hours in it.....Easy!

But if you don't have money then doing it yourself might get you further.


The simple answer is :

If you have the money to hire then hire.



Bottom Line :

I'm selling the slomoplayer in my sig because I would like to make back some of
the "work hours" spent to develop it, but I would have never developed it if I had
found a similar flv player for $100.

Being able to develop the slomoplayer enabled me to get exactly what I wanted,
but it cost me thousands in work hours.

If I had worked at McDonalds instead of working on the slomoplayer then I wouldn't
be pissed right now about not yet getting approved for food stamps.

Keeping it real.
