Talking Points


Hourly billing is like taxes and fossil fuels; there's just not a better answer out there.


There are two very different reasons why clients might ask you how long the project is going to take:

  1. They have some actual hard deadline
  2. They see time as a proxy for cost

Developers are like artists. Would jazz musicians do their best work if you were paying them by the hour?


Why do you eat hours on things you think took you too long, but you don't add hours for things you think you finished extra fast?


If you're asking the client questions about their business logic or entity relationships in a sales meeting, you're doing it wrong.
