I am bitching about the continued misapprehension that
the client has purchased the code just becuase there is
a line item called programming. I am bitching about the
fact that few residiential clients understand the time
it takes to do this work and balk when a real line item
for the real costs are placed in the budget.
In commercial there is a programming line item and it
more closely reflects the costs of programming. But in
residential there is not. The public needs to be educated.

Then stop bitching and bill for it. If you don't you are the issue not the client. If you don't feel you can bill for it then your going to need to evaluate your business model and billing/programming practices. This has nothing to with the client. If I make a module I damm will be using it over and over and over. The first client may take some but not all of my R&D but that is my decision and I know I will make it up in longer run. Also I don't create new stuff on a daily basis and do share with others in my staff. If We can get jobs done quicker and do more of them then why not... Like I said business model.
