Why charge so little? I'd only charge $40 to work in a language I don't know.



Cool projects pay less than boring ones, and at this particular stage in life I want to work on cool things.

I'm also very selective about clients and I prefer working with very reliable people. I might raise rates on somebody new, but I haven't taken on any new clients in... at least 6 months; there's plenty of work to do for the existing ones.


Have people passed you up for serious projects because they think they can find somebody "better" for more money?
