I once got such client while freelancing, who wanted me to make a Digital Content Download Management System.
when i started developing he started saying things like "i could do this better than you" at every step. So
i left the project where it was and asked him to show me the source code when he has extended my code and turned it into a whole system.
As obvious he couldn't and that project never went online.
Why do such morons exist ? -
I hate it when people act like this, I mean it is your task and it is not a code review session don't understand why people like to act as if they know

devTea219106y“Yeah I could totally do this myself but I don’t have time to learn so I hired you to do this”
“What? Why is it so expensive, it’s a simple stuff, I can even do this myself”
Typical retards when you work on IT not just programmers -
Had a call with him after this chat and made it very clear that he needs to find another developer for this...
I can do this and it's no big deal for me, but when you question my knowledge and integrity, it's end game. But still gave him UI for free anyways... -
Root797736ySarcasm is the only justified answer.
Wow, really? I had no idea web development used databases or SQL! Teach me, sensei! -
That's when you say "thanks but I've got it handled, that's what I was hired for," bill the hours and get dat money.

zfor14676yNice client :)
I had a a real moron once. He was a programmer which makes it even worse. He wanted to run SQL queries in a search field on a public site, because clicking the filters on the ui takes too much time... -
jeeper58096yIf you hadn’t mentioned you were working for a reduced rate I might have been in the clients side. Sometimes people get curious and start looking into how stuff is made and start taking out their asses. There’s plenty of tutorials that assure you will have expertise in days lol. I could see how it could go to your head.
However since he already negotiated a lower rate I have a feeling about this client. He’s one who “already has the hard stuff figured out” and you just “have to do some basic stuff” because he thinks “coming up with the idea and being creative is the hard part” and yea fuck that kind of client. -
@Root you can't be sarcastic with those who don't understand sarcasm, they will take it in a literal way...

And even after dropping projects, he's calling me with the ideas he came up
> Mail the form data
> Store the form data as he mentioned
And here's the number one
> Make a dashboard to show stored data with a fucking Login,
He wants this all in the same rate,
"ah come on man, you're an expert, this is a days' job for you"
No fucker, the rate you quoted is far beyond I work and change requests causes 💰 and after that insult I'm just gonna put you in my .gitignore

Fucking moronic clients like these make me want to drop the project, needless to say I dropped the project immediately. I know it's highly unethical but fuck it.
On top of that I was doing charity work by charging 1/8th of my usual rate and this fucking idiots thinks that he is teaching/spoonfeeding me for his project, moron, I made micro library for that much amount of money.
Loss is loss and integrity is integrity..
