Client: "Users are still facing the same problems as before"

Me: "Did they update the app?"

User removes admin access to himself and complains why he can't perform admin functions...

Not everyone can code, even those who are certified to say they can. True for school and work.

About to start my first ever freelance job. The problem is I think I've overestimated myself and under quoted for the project.

Hoping for the best and I'm any case, this will be a good experience in terms of learning about the freelance world right?

Swift4 + xCode9 =

Client wants me to do something even Google can't.

Me coding in swift:

func doStuff() {

// code

}

"oh I see the code isn't working yet. Let me try this"

func doStuff() {

DispatchQueue.main.async {

// code

}
}

do {
liveLife();
} while (you != dead);

Client from hell (if you've read my past rants) came back asking for information that he had provided me months ago.

I'm not your Google Mr client from hell, search it up yourself.

That's what I said, only in my mind though.

Unfortunately, I went to be his Google. Am I too kind? Should I just reply with a nicely worded "I don't know".

Many of you commented on my previous rant regarding my first ever freelance gig that I would definitely be back with even more to rant... here I am.

What was supposedly a 1 to 1.5 month long project became one that is stretching beyond 3, if lucky, else 4 months long. Requirements and scope evolving more complex and with variations more intense than pokemon evolutions.

I fucked up. I signed a contract that nobody would have. I didn't plan or protect my ass enough to prevent such shit from happening. I severely underestimated and hence under quoted. This is one of the nightmare situations a freelancer could be in (in my opinion). I mean it could only get better... Right? I'm preparing myself for one hell of a payment at the end of the project. Brace yourself, payment is hopefully coming as fast as the number of seasons it took for winter to come in GoT.

On the bright side, I'm currently working on a new project with a client that is indeed much much better than this first. I mean he is a nice person and communications thus far has been nothing short of great.

I guess it's good to start with your expectations rock bottom, that way nothing else can be worse, I hope.

Family and friends are some of the hardest stakeholders to manage.

Didn't go to WWDC because of budget constraints. I spent entire week watching videos and reading about WWDC.
Server side swift will rule the internet one day!

Helping out of goodwill with the time I have only to receive nothing but terrible attitude.

I know it can get frustrating but don't throw that frustration on me. Especially when I'm genuinely helping out and going out of the way to do so.
