If you felt generous you could probably code that up in a hour or so, tell them it took a week and blow their minds and get kudos.

FTFY

Client co have a team of content administrators that are rather grandly called "web engineers".

One of them got a new job, which required him to know php. Knowing this guy had no coding skills whatsoever, I politely inquired how he intended to blag it when he arrived. "Oh," he says, "I had a look at their website which is written in php. I did a 'view source' and it looks just like HTML."

Make your ******* mind up.

MF, you of all people should know, if people are buying, then we are selling.

I am simply a contractwhore. Big ClientCo needs me to be a BA. A fair few little ClientCos require me to be developer/analsyt/ba/data modeller.

I am just awesome and get paid well for it.

Jealous sledge boy?
