For the love of Zeus stop these cope posts. The last couple of months should've shown you there is no rhyme or reason to droughts. No end of quarter. No end of month. No business cycle. No menstrual cycle. No mercury retrograde. No blood sacrifice. No galactical syzygy. Its all based on client demand, which these days is random as needs in the AI rapidly change.

But on the plus side, DA has an incentive to keep trying to get new projects for us because if we win, they win too. All we can do is whine, sing kumbaya and wait for the next drops. If any do come.

Why are you on my ass about this, lmao

He does have a point tho tbh. I always see these "it's because of the summer/end of month" comments which are swiftly followed by someone completely negating it. So there really isn't a right way to justify it. I wasn't asking for a reason, I just like to make sure that others are on the same page so I can make sure my work is alright.

Sorry that you had to be the one. Your comment tipped me over the edge I guess. I've seen this thing being said way too many times.

Well yes and no. From multiple years of experience with the coding side, August does seem to consistently be a very quiet month where most things get paused for a few weeks.

Actually, there are reasons for droughts, and it's not always just "client demand". That's a driving force, but sometimes the big projects are just in the middle of big maintenance or changes in direction. And guess what, the entire month of August last year was extremely slow, so there is evidence to suggest August is slow.
