We're actually doing well with this model using a couple techniques to reduce the all-consuming tendency of contracting: * Contracting stays at 50% of our hours (or less.) * Contracting is always hourly. Any overtime or extra hours mean 1:1 extra funded hours for product. This approach has a lot of nice side effects. The tighter supply of your hours will drive up your hourly rate (if you're good) and will maintain the financial motivation to put out some awesome products.
