I traced the impact of specifically my own labor on the company I worked for, and found that it generated $250,000 worth of mealworms from 200 hours of labor over 2 months. And that's with my efficiency being hamstrung by shitty managers.

I am not impressed by someone who boasts of making $15k a month in fad tech with a 1-person business model.

I used to work as a florist and made minimum wage. One time i made a flower arrangment that cost 500$ in like 25 minutes. and someone bought it. So round that up to 30 minutes that's 1000$ an hour i was creating for some rich asshole. More than i made there in a month.

Your service was surely very undervalued, but it's not like the supply of flowers is a trivial part of the income of a flower shop.
