;;; me-seconds.el --- How valuable is my time? -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Inspired by Google's concept of SWE-seconds, I decided to try and compute how
;; value my personal time is.
;;
;; This library should integrate with another library that handles currency
;; conversions using locally cached data for historial values and network
;; requests for current values.
;;
;; Context sensitivity:
;; Many of the values herein are based on my values that are a function of the
;; year, my current salary, my current company holiday policy, and my current
;; country holiday policy.  As such, many of these constants need to be updated
;; whenever changes occur in order for these functions to be useful.
;;
;; Units of time:
;; - seconds
;; - minutes
;; - hours
;; - days
;; - weeks
;; - months
;; - years
;;
;; Wish list:
;; - I should create a money.el struct to work with herein.  This module would
;;   expose basic algebra for working with money structs, which would be handy.
;; - I should create a time.el struct for working with hours in the day.  I'd
;;   like to be able to do (+ 9:15 17:45) cleanly.
;;
;; Terminology:
;; SWE hours give an order of magnitude approximation to the cost of resources
;; in dollars per hour at 2115 hours per year.
;; - SWE hour (SWEh)
;; - SWE year (SWEy)
;; - SWE nominal
;; - SWE opportunity
;;
;; Other isomorphisms include:
;; - Borg GCU
;; - Borg RAM
;; - Tape (library)
;; - Tape (vault)
;; - Spindles (low latency)
;; - Spindles (throughput)
;; - Spindles (throughput)
;; - Tape (throughput)
;; - SWE (nominal)
;; - SWE (opportunity)
