Hey I wrote that :)

I still remember how I felt when I sent that first invoice. I was beating myself for not sending the invoice every week in the process, yet there I was with what I thought was a giant bill.

For context, the company that commissioned the work paid over $100k for that single page (I was in the email chain). It was part of a wider campaign that involved a whole lot of work, interviews, filming, celebrity appearances, etc. I just checked and the page is still up!

Ps: it involves that reliable car company, news paper, and mothers.

That was my first reaction reading your story -- "outside partner probably paid 5 to 10x for it" -- if you'd gotten up to 50k, you would have had a problem. :)

Does the URL end in "women-in-the-world.html"?

Fyi: NixOS would shine everytime a client handed you a laptop for the gig. Your working environment reproducible and declarative. Setup in minutes, not hours.
