A newsletter from Poket Dev about running a software shop that charges one flat monthly rate.
Most dev shops bill by the hour, so every conversation turns into a timesheet. We charge a flat monthly rate for unlimited requests and build everything in-house. This newsletter is where I write down how that works in practice: scoping work without hourly math, keeping turnaround honest, and what clients actually ask for when the meter stops running.
Issues come out when there is something worth saying. Expect one every few weeks.
