tweet / re: @colinmegill: @colinmegill I am not sure where the line is, but “reusable for me” (in Vue) is one thing but “reusable for everyone” thru Observable is another, and I prefer the latter for more iterative ideas, I can publish Vue components but then I am in a dialect not the lingua franca
tweet / re: @colinmegill: @colinmegill sometimes "client" is me, though- but yes, it really is my notebook where I feel comfortable "sketching" and Vue is like the huge canvas where you wanna measure twice and cut once; 1 fav
tweet / re: @colinmegill: @colinmegill way easier to surface sliders / iterate on prototypes / let the client play with parameters, the Vue step is sort of locking it in, locking it in too early is sub-optimal; 1 fav

tweet / re: @NathanIHarris: @NathanIHarris @enjalot @janezhgw @sxywu That is exactly how I work. Each milestone is time estimated in my SOW. This also comes from spending years getting a good idea of how long things take, and always following the rule of doubling my estimate to be safe. Clients love it when you come under estimate for milestone.; 3 fav
tweet / re: @enjalot: @enjalot @janezhgw @sxywu I don't think I could ever ever do fixed pricing unless it was a reproducible commodity (like infographics used to be, I would charge per graphic) but now that part of my work is prototyping and solving problems it would not work to do anything but hourly; 3 fav
