My prices are high but I usually give discounts, I can’t remember the last time I actually charged full price for anything. But this guy was a dick the whole way through, “why didn’t this work? That should’ve done this! The server must be so outdated you have to do a better job”. He tried to be smarter than me by compensating for lack of a decade and a half of experience with a $20 subscription to a chatbot.
The 2nd guy was completely apologetic, basically said “hey I fucked up, charge me whatever you need to but please don’t rake me over the coals”, and was just trying to do something unrelated on his own and figure it out with the resources he had, even if he went about it in a silly way. I charged him an hour to clean up the server which was just removing the stuff he installed, and then showed him how to set up stremio on his devices and kodi on his TV for sports stuff.
The first guy probably won’t renew his contract, which is fine. The second was easy about it all and I would’ve helped him set up that stuff for free anyway if he just asked, as I do for anyone who asks.
I made very fair money from the first guy.
