The 'Basic' Project:
A Freelancer's Tale

June 25, 2025 Joselito Bacolod

The Scenario

The Request

Client: "Yung project, basic lang. Simple website lang siya."

The Reality

Scope: Inventory system, user tracking, complex database, and automated PDF reports.

The Audacity

Timeline: "Should only take about an hour, right?"
(Internal screaming ensues)

To all my fellow freelance devs out there, stay strong!
