Today I'm thankful for the opportunity to say no to a project. Sometimes a job is obviously trouble, and you walk away feeling like you dodged a bullet. That's not what this was.
It was not a bad project, or a bad client. I'm just not the right guy for the job.
A few years ago I would have jumped at this opportunity, and it probably wouldn't have gone very well.
It feels like a small success to have enough experience and insight to see, and to say, that we're not the right fit for each other.
