gollark: "It's only real work if you do manual labour, because that was around longer and is thus evidently the only valid kind, and it looks more difficult to me."
gollark: Yes, that is silly people being silly.
gollark: You're not really paying them for either as much as just the fact that they can do/make the thing you want and you are, presumably, willing to pay the price they ask for. Going around trying to judge someone else's "worth" in some way is problematic.
gollark: The learning time is amortized over all the other programming stuff they do, and it's not like they would somehow unlearn everything if you didn't pay more. Still, it is somewhat complicated and, er, possibly impossible, although if people want to do it (they regularly do complex things anyway if they're interesting) then why not.
gollark: Honestly it's not *that* practical a lot of the time because doing complex things is very hard and slow.
