What "pressure"? You mean baseless demands to work for free?
Just tell them to fuck off.

Just tell them to fuck off.
This is the real world. Growing a spine is not optional. If telling random beggars to shove it is the difficult part, I strongly recommend to work on that before learning yet another cool frontend framework.
- cpach 4y agoVery much this. And for those that for some reason don’t want to use the exact phrase “fuck off”, let it be known that you can say the moral equivalent of this phrase while being super polite – you still need to be firm though.

- zamnos 4y agoThe particular phrase you are looking for is "fuck you, pay me." With the help of ChatGPT, we can translate that to: "I must respectfully insist on receiving payment for the services rendered. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated."
