Take your expected salary per annum, pre deductions. Divide that by 200. This is your BASE line break even contracting rate per day. Any thing less, and you're going to have issues financially.
@ $50,000 per annum
50,000 / 200 => 250 per day.
On average, you'd realistically want to be charging closer to Base + 40%. Im my example, this would be $350
just to give yourself time off, $$ for equipment, marketing, growth, insurance, accounting, other general business costs.
Contractors are expensive because we're the business. We take on the risk. We do the HR, taxes, insurance, office rentals, equipment costs/hire. Everything.
Agreed. I usually tell people to charge close to 2x their salaried rate. You can negotiate if you're hungry for business, but I've found the price tag is usually not the biggest blocker to getting clients.
So Senior engineers on contract at a big tech company could command ~3,000 USD per day? Or does this math break down when you get into salaries in the 400+k range?
That's because fonts is a collection of the singular font. Colors, the same for color. fontFamily is precisely what is says; a font family. It's a singular unit. There is no inconsistency here.
When configuring the settings, it uses `fontFamily`, singular, to set up multiple font family options (eg. options for "heading" and "body" in their example). `colors`, however, is plural here.
When applying them later in the code, they're both singular since they're specifying a specific family/color.
I agree with GP that this inconsistency shakes my confidence in the package.
Tailwind is free and open source. If it really shakes your confidence with the entire system, you could certainly consider opening a discussion or PR. I've been using Tailwind in production and I never even really thought about it. It just seems out of place that of all the incredible work Tailwind is doing, this potentially minor issue is enough to say "well then nevermind".
