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

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.
