Uncle: I need a app for my company.

Me: Sure. What for?

Uncle: Managing my employees on the fly.

Me: So you need a backend, server cost around 20$ month.

Uncle: hmm ok I talk to you next time.

This happens literally with everyone that asks me for a App :/

    Unless you're in the industry you've no idea what it takes to run a system. You just think it needs a computer/phone.

    How to avoid these kind of situation(s):
    Uncle : Can you make me an app for managing my employees on the fly?
    Me: NOPE.

    * 5 minutes of akward silence*

    *Moving on with my work*

    Always ask:" What's your budget? " before even they get into explaining the idea.

    He's worried about the 20$ server cost, just wait till you tell him about the development cost ;)

    It's "an App" not "a App"

    Where do you come up with costs like 20$ per month for servers?
    OpenShift from RedHat provides a lot of free PaaS options.
    Scaleway provides cheap VPS on ARM64 or x86 architecture.
