The client approved the scope.
Then they asked for a login system.
Then a dashboard.
Then an app.
This is not a project anymore. This is a hostage situation.
Crept catches it before you say yes.

Freelancers: that email asking for "one more thing" is costing you thousands a year.
Crept reads it against your signed scope in seconds and tells you exactly where you stand.
RED. YELLOW. GREEN.
No more guessing. No more free work.

100%. El problema es que muchos freelancers no tienen nada por escrito cuando el cliente empieza a pedir más. Por eso construí Crept, una extensión de Chrome que detecta el scope creep dentro de Gmail y genera la cotización nueva automáticamente. El cliente lo piensa dos veces cuando ve el precio.

@midudev Manejar el scope creep es una de las mejores habilidades que hay que tener como freelance. Hacerle ver al cliente que en realidad no necesita esa feature y si aún así la quiere, una cotización nueva lo hará pensarselo dos veces 😅

7 conceptos de Ingeniería de Software que te harán mejor programador:
⓵ Bus Factor 🚌
¿Cuántas personas pueden irse del proyecto antes de que todo se pare?
Si la respuesta es 1, hay un problema. Comparte conocimiento y evita dependencias críticas.
⓶ Yak Shaving 🪒
Ibas a cambiar un botón y acabaste migrando medio proyecto.
Son subtareas infinitas que te alejan del objetivo real. Mantén el foco.
⓷ Rubber Duck Debugging 🦆
Explica tu código en voz alta, a un pato o a alguien del equipo.
Al verbalizar la lógica, muchas veces encuentras el error tú solo.
⓸ Deuda Técnica 💸
La solución rápida de hoy puede ser el problema caro de mañana.
Cuanto más tardes en arreglarla, más intereses pagas.
⓹ Optimización Prematura 🧠
Hacer el código más eficiente antes de saber si hay un problema real.
Suele acabar en código más complejo y difícil de mantener.
⓺ Cargo Cult Programming ✈️
Copiar patrones, arquitecturas o código porque “lo hacen los pros”, sin entender por qué. No imites: entiende tus herramientas.
⓻ Scope Creep 📈
El clásico “ya que estamos…”. Pequeñas funcionalidades que se acumulan hasta convertir un proyecto simple en un monstruo. Aprende a poner límites.
