You—: You need a web app that looks beautiful. You want prospective customers to interact with your product and you want them to feel that visceral feeling that you feel when you interact with an Apple product or something of similar quality. That feeling will compel them to purchase your thing and it is easily worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to you over the next two or three years. (Perhaps you've noticed how terrible the recent YouTube redesign is. If I were in charge of that operation I would fire everyone involved. No mercy.)

I prefer not to be "managed". Direct engagements with execs only. Thanks.

CRUD.

There. I said it. It basically just comes down to this one simple thing.

Create. Read. Update. Delete.

That is what I do for money. Some people have less money than they need. Some people have more. Some people need more and will pay some to have more. Some people have more and will pay more to have some.

Those people should contact me.

And then there are the people who need more and won’t pay some to have more, and the people who have more and won’t pay more to have some. That isn’t you, but if it is you, you know who you are. Come back when you need more and will pay some or have more and will pay more.

Because this message is for those people.

My ideal client is someone who likes money and dislikes work, but likes money more than he dislikes work. I, like my ideal client, like money and dislike work, but like money more than I dislike work.

My ideal client is someone who thinks about writing checks to people like he thinks about writing checks to purchase dividend-paying equities or revenue-generating landholdings. I, like my ideal client, enjoy the utility of checks of this variety and look forward to writing many of my own.

Arbitrarily large checks.

Everyone wants to know about experience. I have many years of experience. Almost everyone wants to know about competence. I am one of the most competent. But those are not the questions. The questions are these: will I be near to the profit center? will I be free of onerous hiring machinery? will I stand apart from the managerial system?

Only you can answer these questions — but I am rooting for you.
