@whitenemo.near [Posted on DevHub](/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=2106) ## Idea: Inquiry and Apprehensions Regarding DevHub Expenditures Hey @root.near, @frol.near I wanted to chat about some concerns I've got regarding what seems like a bit of a spending spree over at DevHub. As you know, getting funds for real developers and builders can be a bit of a hustle, so seeing some big bucks being thrown around without much to show for it is a bit worrying. Take, for example, @orangejoe.near charging DevHub a $100 per hour for things like "document discovery" and "participation in spaces." I've been trying to spot the results or even a report, but no luck so far. And there's this 9104.75 USDT payout for ten days of work with added meal reimbursements and transport costs [check it out ](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=post&id=2084). Makes me wonder what's the deal when there's no detailed report in sight. Oh, and there's this $100 charge for a TikTok strategy [peek here]( https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=post&id=2058), but again, no outcomes or reports for the "Social Networks long posts" at $100 per hour. On top of that, the speed at which DevHub decides on staff payments is like lightning, while developers are left twiddling their thumbs for ages. It's a bit off, you know? So, here's my take on fixing things up a bit: 1. Cut out all the non-developer expenses – meals and transport. 2. Every DevHub staffer needs to drop a detailed report about what they're splashing the cash on. 3. Let's get the community involved. Voting on who gets what keeps things fair and square. 4. No more green light without a solid proposal report. We need the deets. 5. Quick responses for developers, please! Let's get a commenting and approval system in place to clear up the backlog. 6. Make sure DevHub's paycheck matches what's going on in the real-world job market. The ex. Aurora Labs folks over at DevHub are cruising around Lisbon in a business class taxi [check it out](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=post&id=2097) but left the external builders hanging Something's off there. Would love to see you guys take a look at this and make some positive moves.
