Run-away Memes

So a client slides into your DMs praising your skills, then drops "MAKE NO MISTAKES!" in all caps like some kind of mob boss issuing a threat. You naturally ask for clarification because that's... concerning. Their response? "Sorry, wrong window." Translation: They were actually chewing out some other poor developer and accidentally sent it to you instead. Now you're sitting there wondering if this is the same client who's about to hire you, or if you just witnessed them verbally abuse someone else on your team. Either way, red flags are waving harder than a beach during a hurricane. Time to update that resume and maybe rethink this whole "freelancing" thing. Pro tip: When a client leads with threats before you've even started, that's not a project—that's a hostage situation with a retainer fee.
