- 3Impressive answer! Thank you. I agree with you 100%, except that this question was directed to freelance works in mind, sorry I probably didn't make it clear in the question. I would never use such methods with contract-work, its just common sense and also the question would be why.. since I'm legally covered anyways. However, I'm talking about when you have an oral-contract with a guy.. who wants a car.. and you build it for him. Then he wants to see it, while you are making it.. and drives away. So, in development mode.. wouldn't it be easier to have a kill-switch.. that cuts the ignition?!Kalle H. Väravas– Kalle H. Väravas2011-09-19 18:15:54 +00:00Commented Sep 19, 2011 at 18:15
- 11This is why you NEVER do development work for someone who isn't employing you, involving any significant time or resources, without a written contract. It's still "freelance" work, since you're representing yourself as an independent contractor, but the contract allows both you and your client to cover their behinds. It states what both sides will provide for the other (not just product and money, but resources like office space and computers), and what will happen should any of that not occur as agreed.KeithS– KeithS2011-09-19 18:27:15 +00:00Commented Sep 19, 2011 at 18:27
- Agreed, I got my lesson. Well, in theory it is correct, but it was one of those rare combinations of different variables. Friend of a friend, who wanted it cheap (1000€), my personal CMS with custom made design. I think its more clear, how the programmers community feels about this. Thank you for your answer, it still was focused more on the contracted-cases, but left the imagination for the non-contracted jobs.Kalle H. Väravas– Kalle H.

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
