@yan I had a number of conversations with him, in all of which which he seemed like a really nice guy and perfectly reasonable. Each time he assured me that he had every intention of finishing the work, and there was only a few hours left.
He knew very well that the work was meant to have been completed in seven days. He explained to me that the project had overrun because my friend supplied the artwork late. Which was a perfectly valid explanation for 1 week of overrun. The other 6 weeks, however, are not so clear...
- ars 17y agoHe probably has another (better paying) client, and intends to do your work, but something else always gets in the way, so he doesn't have enough time. Most people are not deliberately evil, they want to do the right thing, but find excuses. If you are still interesting in him doing the work, find a way to increase the urgency - for example tell him if we don't launch really soon it will fail, etc, etc. As far as the bad code, nothing you can do about that.
