Ask HN: Do you Design / Code at client's place?

3 pointssathishmanohar2 comments

I've turned down quite a few offers to work at Clients' place. Sometimes they ask to code simple Content Management Systems from their place. I never understood the logic. I thought may be they are paranoid or something. Wondering what you peeps do, presented with similar situation.

By client's place, do you mean an individual in their personal residence or client as in a business and in their business establishment?

If it's a business in a business establishment, I think it's fine and in fact that's what I am doing most of the time as a contractor.

Working in a client's personal residence is another story though. I would never do it and I would suspect that he/she just lack the understanding about our line or work. Perhaps you could ask the next time you have a client that demands this situation. The insights might be very intriguing.

Good luck with your work.

The offers were mostly to work in office setting, but, I was once asked to work in home of a film actor here, through a contact of mine.
