The real cost of boilerplate (and how agency devs are fixing it)
Every new client project starts the same way. Auth setup. Database config. CI/CD pipeline. Environment variables. Deployment scripts.
For most agency devs, that's 8-15 hours of work you've already done a hundred times. At a $150/hr rate, that's $1,200-$2,250 in unbillable setup per project.
Multiply that by 20 projects a year? You're looking at $25,000-$45,000 in lost revenue just on repetitive config.
The fix isn't "work faster." The fix is eliminating the repetition entirely.
That's what we built Balthazar for — ship-ready templates, pre-wired APIs, and deployment configs that take you from zero to production-ready in minutes, not days.
