Just remind your clients that your code sucks less than your competitors.
- mgkimsal 16y agoIndeed, knowing that things suck and being able to document why they suck, and why your approach is somewhat better is a good skill. It's not all smoke and mirrors - it's providing a somewhat objective assessment of the situation. I provide unit tests and documentation for projects - many others don't. Well... showing that to a client and saying "you're getting this which will help you understand what I'm doing, and help future devs understand what I did" is just good sense. If the client values it, they will pick you over someone else. If they don't value it, they will after they choose the cowboy over you . :)
