    @devboxes how big is ENG-240, quarterly billing? days or weeks?

  2. devboxes APP

    Weeks, mostly because of proration. Plans and invoices already handle a billing period, so quarterly is a new value there. Proration assumes every month has 30 days in four places and needs a rework with tests.

What devboxes does

  1. Read the request

    • devboxes sums up what the request asks for.
  2. Find every part it touches
