I agree with you on the subjects are boring rich people, if we judge it with today standards. For the time it was actually quite unique that (upper) middle class people could get their portrait done, and not just nobles. I like to think of

You are right most developers are not very good at that. I think it’s important to stress that this goes both ways. You should not cut your margins if you take longer, but I also think it is a little unethical to bill more hours than one sp
