That is possibly the single most important, but also the single most overlooked, thing he ever said.

@lizardbill I've learned that whenever I'm doing contract work, and the client tells me they are making a non-trivial change to the agreed-upon specifications, I have to present them with a written estimate of the schedule change, which translates directly into a change to their cost. After a particular client and I go through that a few times, they tend to be a little less eager to change the specifications out from under me at the drop of a hat.
