Hello Patrick, always wanted to ask you - when you'll have a time, could you please describe some [hypothetical] case of your consulting with all the exact details of what you get paid for? I mean, while your posts on relevant subject are interesting, they are rather generic.
He has mentioned in the past that most of his consulting includes non-disclosure agreements. WPEngine is one client that he is allowed to talk about. Also, he prefers not to mention rates because a) they've gone up over time, and b) he doesn't want to have to negotiate against his past self when pricing.
i.e "for what", so I'm not asking exact rates, but more concrete details of the job he has done. And this could be a hypothetical case. So, basically, did he implement some code, or told to implement with very specific details (e.g. at API/types level) to the senior engineers from the client company? Did he work on copywriting or similar? Did he help to determine exact price of the targeting product; etc...
