The ROI of maintaining and enhancing is probably under-represented in the freelance space. It may make more financial sense for freelancers to bid on greenfield projects but I wonder, aloud here, if there is some business model for a network of freelancers that are experts in maintaining <your-old-system>, with price tiers of one-time fix, small-medium sized project and retainer based services.
- gregjor 10y agoI think the ROI is underrepresented. There's a lot of maintenance and enhancement work available and less competition for it. I mostly work on retainer at rates equal to or higher than green fields developers. And my chances of success are much higher. http://typicalprogrammer.com/the-joys-of-maintenance-programming http://typicalprogrammer.com/the-joys-of-maintenance-program...
