Meeting Cost Calculator

Posted Jan 23, 2024 — Updated Jan 23, 2024

Hello, very small number of people! Welcome to another small side project.

Everyone loves to complain about meetings, especially engineers. One day during a particularly rough one I thought, “How much does this meeting actually cost?”

So, contrary to the advice I would give to anyone, I ignored the many, many existing tools I found on Google and built my own. Those tools mostly are not very good on mobile (which I wanted) and I’ve been meaning to brush up on my React skills anyway, so two birds one stone.

As I was building it, it occurred to me that a more useful (and less complain-ey) engineering-specific version of this tool could apply to things like: test run duration, webpack build times, local development setup time, CI build duration, etc. In fact, those things are likely even more expensive than meetings! But by then I had mostly finished building it and time is precious; so here we are.

I’m sure there are some edge cases I haven’t accounted for, but feel free to play around with it at meetings.justinjoyce.dev.
