That's one of the things I cherish about only developing as a side job / freelancing. When this was my actual day job, I'd have to power through the shitty customers. At least in that case, I got paid by the company all the same. Now, I only deal with people who don't ask for a new foundation to be poured as I'm finishing the roof work.
We used to always have a fist full of customers. We are a very small agency and having 2 big and 3 smaller projects going, met the sweet spot of productivity and money made.
This was the first year, we're mainly on one big project. Finishing one, while simultaneously starting the one i wrote about.
You can concentrate more, while on just one protect. Ok, but the urgency of this project having to succeed, is also ever present.
I think this stresses me more.
The customer seems to be one that has high demands, but listens and ends up going with the recommended solution, when he got something wrong and doesn't insist on x being y.
