Can you elaborate more on using that line? The purpose of using that as I read it is to say "Yes, I can attempt to implement that new/extra feature, but if I am unable to do so within the original project schedule, there will be an extra fee for my time." Is that the intent?
- wikwocket 13y agoHere is the original context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3710748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3710748 The original meaning was, "You call the shots, but if you add a bunch of changes, we're going to slip on the schedule." What I meant was that you could probably use a similar line, to the effect of, "I'm happy to change this to do X instead of Y, but since that's a rather major change, I may need to send you a revised quote for the feature. Would you like me to do that, or maybe do Y', which should meet most of your needs for now?"
