as a distance worker- it is important to work with clients that understand and appreciate the services you can provide them
over the years i have learned that there are many people that will never be on the same page with you- and that's totally ok, its a free world and people should wake up every day happy and do good work, and roll with those that want to roll with you
so its a two way street-
but the post above shows that this client thinks it's his way, or the highway
and in his efforts to determine a method to find or rate a reliable developer-
based on whether or not they want to deal with him- and his particular way of doing business-
he might want to get a clue...
and understand that real developers and distance workers already have such a system-
for dealing with prospective, current and former clients
its called mutual respect-
for time and work, both clients and developers
and it works pretty good... as in if there isn't any mutual respect-
then there isn't going to be any good work, either
i invested time and effort to try to help this client-
learn about this job and see if i was going to be able to obtain the desired results-
- and then did some good work at the start-
- fixed his theme as he requested, perfectly
