    Yep, no idea which is which. Maybe everyone’s software scammers at this point, couldn’t tell you. Seemed a little me-centric to assume that was the case, but could be. 🤷

    Most produced products seem like production labor is very low cost (they outsource to somewhere to have “very grateful” five year olds do it) and the majority of the “in-house” labor is things like sales and marketing (which aren’t even usually in-house which is why I put it in scare-quotes). But all of this is admittedly anecdata.
