The problem with consulting as a developer is that you can't charge as much as it costs to fix shit properly. Endless fucking story. Developers are mostly crap which treat their work as any other working man.

You are there on the floor with these men, lowest in the hierachy, selling your time which you can't scale.

You can't set a price on your time, it's something you will never get back, but if you absolutly must sell it, sell it expensively and to people you values your time.

Fuck doing work with lousy people and companies. It's not worth it.

Time doesn't scale
