I lost a potential client just now because he wanted his website to go fullscreen and play music right away. I said (in a professional manner) 'no' , so he said he'd get someone who wouldn't have a problem doing that.
meh

I guess I'm at a point in my 'career' now...where I'm just not going to do things I don;t want to do anymore, just to have a portfolio piece. I'd rather spend that time playing with my dogs or taking my wife out to dinner....

why do you care?
I work for money. Just don't put your name on it.

Wow. What rationale did he give for not letting the user have a choice between a fullscreen and a in-browser version?

"why do you care?"
because I get so pissed off when my screen gets taken over with no warning...and music on top of that. Fuck that - that's why I care. You wanna do it - be my guest - but I'll cuss you to the end of the world when you are done....

you are too principled about dumb shit, sometimes.

"What rationale did he give"
Clients need not a rationale.
I just didn't like his attitude either...he's a financial analyst and he thinks he knows everything about everything.
Potential mental breakdown avoided.

I really fail to see how my principles are 'dumb' concerning this...but thanks anyway...
