    I had a client once explain to me that his request for the 75% redesign of his mobile app would be simple because “it’s just 3 pages”

    That was the exact quote

    I know that was hardly related to the post, but it reminded me of that and I needed to vent to my therapist (aka strangers on Lemmy)

      I feel you. Just ended coding “a little special case” that resulted in dozens of files changed, all because I refused to make it with dirty hidden hack, and that was a clear-cut technical if-branching even, no vague ideas

      Talking to a client is times that amount of hurdle
