Wow man thanks again; sounds like you have indeed been in the trenches with ACA stuff so I sure do appreciate the "realism"...

Yes, and then the fun starts as Insurance companies are in the business of collecting payments and denying claims... so you find out what you've been paying for in a contentious environment!
I subcontract through companies who have required both General and Professional liability insurance. And generally I have had to name those 'parent' companies as co-insured on my policy.

Definitely have that LLC on the front burner; thanks for your advice about having it buy the General and Pro Liability... Good stuff

Errors and Omissions insurance runs about $400-$500 per year for about $1MM. Been 1099 in banking application where some, not all, require E&O.
A lawyer will tell you the to get E&O and charge you $500.

heheh yeah luckily I do know a "good" lawyer (though he has yet to call me back LOL) who, if/when he does call back would probably just say E & O like most folks on here have as well.. Thanks

Get a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer. But...
It depends very much on what state you live in. Some states make you more strictly liable than others, so totally get a lawyer.
Probably you want to incorporate yourself as an LLC, and have the contract made out to the LLC. Being an LLC limits your liability to company assets. They can't take your home and your retirement funds. Probably. But they can still sue you, and you still have to pay for a lawyer, even if your defense is successful.
Insurers offer a general liability coverage that pays for lawyers and damage awards. You probably have some liability coverage as part of your homeowners insurance right now, but it probably isn't enough for a professional who is a sole proprietor. This insurance is quite inexpensive because despite what you hear, not all that many individuals get sued. Individuals are not big enough targets to pay for million-dollar legal fights. Call your homeowners insurer or auto insurer. After you talk to the lawyer. Beware of a "doughnut hole", a range of costs below which you are covered, and above which you are covered, but inbetween which you are responsible. Insurers like to put the doughnut hole right in the most likely range of liability awards. They have 50 actuaries working tirelessly to find this point. Get a policy with no doughnut hole.
Don't worry too much. It has historically been hard to tag software engineers with liability for coding bugs because it is well understood that all software contains bugs, and the standard of competent practice does not deliver bug-free code. Your liability would be greater if you left a back-door in the code, deliberately did not heed warnings from competent and well-informed people, or actually threw paper copies of medical records into the municipal waste stream.

OK thanks for the sound advice, esp about that doughnut hole; never heard of that before and I sure am glad you brought it up... Thanks

I'm trying to upgrade jQuery in our app and received this message from a plugin:

Don't you love it when a version comparison is done by string, not by numeric value?

You must be on a really old version of the plugin[^] - the latest version requires jQuery v1.7 or higher.
Are you still supporting IE6/7/8? If not, is there a reason you're sticking with the v1 branch instead of the v2 branch?

So I posted a question in the C# forum trying to figure out why my app settings were not reloading.
My class has properties for each setting:
public bool IsSensorListVisible
{
get { return _IsSensorListVisible; }
set
{
if (_IsSensorListVisible != value)
{
_IsSensorListVisible = value;
save();
}
}
}
.
.
.
Notice the call to Save?? So the CTOR calls Load, which sets each property, which then calls Save...
DOH!!!
<slaps forehead="">
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
