About Dollars Per Second
A meeting cost meter and a weekly essay series, built by one person on evenings and weekends.
What this is
Dollars Per Second is a meter that turns meeting time into dollars while the meeting runs. Set the number of people and what they are paid, start the clock, and watch the cost tick. Export a CSV when you are done. Alongside the meter we publish Cost of Your Time, a weekly essay series on what working hours actually cost.
How we build
One person builds this on evenings and weekends. We ship small changes, fix what real use turns up, and do not announce features before they exist.
Part of a bigger build
DPS is one of a few small projects by the same person:
- Dollars Per Second: this site
- Bot Bastards: AI robot collectibles, one dollar a forge
- Dave Figures It Out: notes on building these in public
- The Wunderwoods: the band
