karmic

Sometimes you realize that you did not go. Well, here it happens.

I have one client with a project. When I took hold of it, we are very busy with long terms of reference. Frankly - a very long time. Because I do not like sudden passionate imagination of natural persons. This is when it comes to a man who believes in his project, and you do not believe in it. He has no monetization scheme, it is generally difficult to understand how this project should catch the consumer, but believe in its divine origin, because he dreamed it one night. Such projects will always fail. Or, at least, do not reach the significant success. What can I say, even I myself sometimes come up with such projects, but never really tried to get them to love.

We quarreled, we thought, discussed. In the end I have drawn, as it should be, and the client agreed to. We shook hands and the case went. Do not matter.

Our design has not gone. I can not say that he was successful, but it was reasonable. I never take money before the beginning of the layout. The client said that our design does not like, and I said ' goodbye '. Once again we went in circles around each other, and eventually brought his client design. It was worse than the one that drew us, but he had one advantage - he liked the client. Because he painted it himself. I succumbed to the entreaties and we started to work.

The first developer overestimated his strength, and for two months, did almost nothing. I felt something was wrong and returned to the client prepay. Yeah, what's - I yelled at him. And threw it with his own money, so to speak about the wire transfer. But how bad women's novels, we returned to the theme of the site, increased the estimate, I pulled another programmer. And we even launched the initial version of the site.

All was well, but since the terms of reference has changed in the process - the client has suddenly appeared monetization model, the second programmer stuck between these two tasks. On the first assignment, he worked for, but in the second - stood firmly. Month after month we were fighting against the wall, but could not move significantly. On the one hand, we then hung two more complex the project, on the other hand, simply do not matter and that's it.

Then the project went to the third programmer, then - for the fourth. Yesterday I gave it to the fifth. My costs for site development because of the flip for more than the sum of the contract. And now this site - is a matter of principle. Bring it to the end to prove. Here's what to prove - not very clear. Perhaps what I. There is a job like a suitcase without a handle - and it is difficult to bear, and throw a pity. More precisely - do not mind, but simply can not. If you can not, because it's somewhere in the karmic scoreboard will remove some points. With all you can say goodbye and go through, but not with the loss of points on that scoreboard. At least for me.

Therefore, if intuition tells you that there will be an asshole, then trust her. Fig with them, with the money. You still forget about them when to start the fight for points on the scoreboard, but in the end you'll still find yourself faced with a choice that must either drag to the finish, or lose some experience accumulated karma. And God forbid that this ' drag ' it was not for life, but merely a request for a site. Oh, I know.
