Moral of the story: Great developers are profit centers, bad developers are cost centers. Unfortunately, many execs without development experience neglect to see it this way. They see "expensive cost center" that can easily replaced with cheaper labor. Cool thing is, as others (like the author) have said, they tend to get burned and end up re-hiring you on even better-than-original terms. Kudos to the author for doing good work!
