Before the dot.bomb they just plain hired you to do a job and would
wait for you to contact them and tell them it's ready.
After the dot.bomb, and all the kiddies were offering services for less
than minimum wage, clients want a friggin' play-by-play as your going.
They don't want to pay anything for it and the keep using the word
"just" a lot.
Like "I just want the sales people to get all the current listings" and you
say "Then you need to incorporate a database and that is going to
be an entirely different cost than the agreement we have already started".
Then they say "I don't want a database then I just want the sales people
to see the old listings and the new listings as they come up".
So it's not the code that's a bitch it's the clients. 1 out of 10 are normal
but the rest treat you like your scamming them or something.
If they say "just" then you tell them you "just" remembered your booked
for the next millennium and to call back when the sun goes nova.
