told client to buy this particular plugin.

he bought another plugin (totally useless) because it was cheaper.

like wtf.

Buying a cheaper alternative to whatever you were looking for is an instinctive activity for people, so they often forget that the notion of an alternative implies a level of understanding they don't have about software.

I'm always excited when clients buy something wholly inadequate to save $10 because I get to bill and then highlight all the working hours it took me to build all the features that would've been included in the slightly more expensive version.

@lbfalvy well it was totally unrelated to the recommended plugin.

its like buying a cello tape when you the tool you need is a screwdriver

But the tape was on sale and tape is universal right?
