Well that's a common risk that clients have to accept, and it's often what pushes them towards larger software consultancies.
The argument is that you may not be there next year and they'd be stuck in a hole with software out of date.
You could offer to commit 4 hrs per week on retainer in the maintenance mode of the software, later down the track. That gives you a retainer and gives them predictable cost. If the required changes are bigger than the allocated time per week (or they want it sooner) you'd have an hourly rate attached with it.
I always try to build relationships that last and not quick in/out software.
- lifeisstillgood 8y agoOff Topic but your profile has some kind of key and a visual representation (similar to SSH but not quite) What is that?
- brennebeck 8y agoThe Art appears to just be ascii of their uname, but I’m not 100%.
- tonyarkles 8y agoYou piqued my curiosity, and I was pleasantly surprised! I won't post the email address, because I suspect it's encoded like that to prevent spam. But here's two hints: - the visual representation simply requires you to step back from your monitor and squint - the "key" is an email address Hope the hints help! Have fun! There's two classic pieces of Internet technology involved.
- keyle 8y agoHeh. Thanks for playing. I forgot the brainfuck puzzle.
- tonyarkles 8y agoI do wonder how many people know about rot-13 these days. I remember having to use it to get the punchlines for dirty jokes on Usenet :)
- richharms 8y ago-
- tonyarkles 8y agoDamnit! You gave away the answer!
- keyle 8y agoI wish you edited that with '42'.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoHuh. Nice one, 'keyle. My favourite "encryption" scheme :D.
- keyle 8y agoHN to me is about celebrating hackery with things like this :-)
- BslSJDIz1gqWxXq 8y agoI tried a ROT-24589 algorithm on it, I think I'm really close.
- keyle 8y agoGood thinking. ROT-24596 should get you there!
