Code Starter Essentials vs building it yourself: which is worth it?
Code Starter Essentials costs $79.00 once and is ready to use the moment payment clears — the whole point is that the setup work is already done. Building it yourself is worth choosing instead if the process itself is the thing you want to learn. For everyone else, the arithmetic is simple: if the file saves you more hours than it costs, buy it and spend the saved time on the part only you can do.
