    Dev here - this is something everybody who works with users has to come to grips with. It’s like a cartoon where teachers in their break room say, “This place would be great if it weren’t for all the students!” Truth is, we’re here for them, and that’s the job.

      The web application I described is my side business (that I own) so realistically I could simply choose to not be there for them.

        Well yes, I’ve been a self-employed contractor myself. You can always choose not to do what a customer wants. The risk that they’ll drop you and find somebody else is yours to take.
