Anyone tried to do this with programming contracts instead of design contracts?

  I'm curious too. It would be harder to look through the phone book to find companies with bad programs :-)

  I tried this with some lawyers once back in the day when I just finished college ... needless to say these are some cheap ass motherf*ckrs ... they wanted almost everything for free - setting up their network, fixing their printer, calling comcast when internet was down etc. All this just because I wrote them a small desktop application.

  Yes! Pretty much all I've done for years. An old hn post of mine... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=182489 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=182489 [Edit: Oops, almost forgot that this was one of those posts where someone picked up on a seemingly insignificant detail and started a big debate over it. I posted the link to save myself from cutting and pasting. The "debate" below it is pointless.]
