It's a rare client who pays more than the agreed-upon price.
- unnouinceput 7y agoYou're wrong. I have plenty of clients that seeing my efforts in putting that extra-mile for their project paid a bonus as well. But that's because I have good communication with them and plenty of times when they need it something fast I simply code it in front of their eyes instead of "let me see these requests and I get back to you". That's the difference between a senior developer and a junior one.
- eru 7y agoWell, bobbylarrybobby only said rare. Not 'non-existent'.
- rasz 7y ago> when they need it something fast I simply code it in front of their eyes "wow it was that easy?? I am vastly overpaying" - heard several times
- unnouinceput 7y agoThen you're doing it wrong. You see, this needs to be done after you already coded the application at least on 2 different versions and the codebase of it it's over 50k lines and at least a year old. Then implementing something fast it blows their mind especially when they have the proverbial carrot in that proverbial place. As for overpaying is not the case since I am paid hourly. I prefer to blow their mind from time to time in order to do repeat business instead to always be "I'll get back to you" and have them feeling that I'm procrastinating.
