This is something that doesn't make sense to me, I was trying to hire a developer for a side project and received an astronomical quote for around $25K for what seems to be a simple and basic site, the EU developer (UK specifically) quoted me around $1 to $2K and was equally as senior engineer (I checked both of their work and github projects)
This on top of now most software engineers are using AI Copilot and ChatGPT in their work which means that most quotes and salaries look very overpriced.
Am I missing something here?
Just a quick question I have:
Currently looking at adding a newsletter to my SaaS, but there are many different email newsletter services out there, but curious which ones you guys use for your startup. or your own side projects.
Thanks again!

Additional bonus points if you explain why as well! :)
A few months ago I launched a SaaS for Discord groups which has a newsletter as well. There is a basic plan and a paid plan for those who want to supercharge their discord community (think advanced access control, management, community perks, AI based help, etc.)
Since shipping, I see around 87% of customers (out of around 20,000+) are using the service for free and only about a small percentage ~12-13% are paying.
Is this normal when having a SaaS that there are a huge amount of free people? I'm glad free people see some value in my service, but the only worry for me is the server costs as this scales up.
What do you guys do in this situation for converting free customers into paying customers?
Thank you!
Do you browse the web with JS turned off? just curious to know your reasons for this and why.
Just wondering what websites you go to almost everyday (other than HN) in 2023 and why?
What do you like about it?
I'll start off with SourceHut (https://sr.ht), been using it since GitHub is getting extremely bloated and using SourceHut is a breath of fresh air for me.
What are yours? :)
