unless they have a secret pipeline of talented coders who don't want to be in an office, live in the woods or on the beach, work 3-4 hours a day, collaborate minimally, and never have to worry about finding new work or maintaining a pipeline.

People with that pedigree have huge opportunity costs; why would they work for below market enough to make this attractive to the clients?
