@Condor it's the consequence of being easy to write quick scripts in, I guess 😶

@Bitwise Well put, I also try to spot those as much as possible and teach them both about why they got charged too much and atleast compile some sort of "checklist" for what to look out for, like e.g. how to ask a phony - if he even knows anything (most literally e.g. fail at the question of what framework they'll use), since they are mostly just searching for somebody to do it.

@Bitwise hah great image/quote too
Fucking hell, that's now the fourth time in a row that I see my clients getting ripped a second asshole by previous developers, this one charged 1500$ for a "python script" that only calls ffmpeg with couple args, claiming tons of shit like the video being e.g. better quality after conversion - even though all it does, is a straight convert from one format to another. (no filters, anything, just a convert) I feel always so terribly bad discovering that shit and them proudly telling me about the "solution" they invested in..
