> most of the mid tier freelancers I know inflate the hours they worked on paper... I Its immoral no question Just to be a little argumentative, I'd like to point out that software estimation is very hard. You might grossly overestimate the effort for Project X with a client and end up charging a few more hours than you physically coded, but you might grossly underestimate the work for Project Y and end up eating a bunch of hours to keep the client happy. Is overcharging for Project X but undercharging for Project Y, and basically keeping things in balance and fair that unreasonable?
