    Your comment made me inspired to write a letter about this Lee Sedol/Go match and by the end of it, I think I address your point. [Link]( https://medium.com/@peterbsmith/computer-beats-human-at-hard... )

    I was offered $150/hr to manage a project once and so I accepted. I figured it out along the way and delivered the results. Since then, I start with an estimate of $150/hr when I'm calculating price. I've had one person
