A year ago, a developer saved a few euros on renderings and, surprise:
\nis still pissed off that he didn’t sell like he dreamed.<\/h2>\n

The expression \u201cthe parrot’s chocolate\u201d has its origin in a popular anecdote from 19th century Spain, although its historical accuracy is uncertain.
The story goes that in a middle-class family, where expenses had to be controlled, there was a parrot that was part of the family.<\/p>\n

The solution to their woes was not seen in lowering their tremendously expensive standard of living a little, stopping throwing parties, or being a little more careful with their spending; but in leaving a parrot they had without the small piece of chocolate they gave him daily; which evidently did not mean an improvement in their situation.<\/p>\n

I know that, but so do you:<\/p>\n

The impact of a rendering<\/a> that costs you three times as much tends to be zero in relation to what is at stake.<\/h3>\n

The day you understand that investing in quality renderings is the parrot’s chocolate, your sales will take off and you won’t want anything else.<\/p>\n

Of course, it doesn’t have to be with us<\/a>.
In fact, we prefer it. We can’t keep up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
