My employer has one contracting firm where they are the primary client. They bought a 3rd party software package. It was poorly written and they couldn't figure out how to get it to work. They looked at the comments in the code, saw the author's name, hired him has a consultant, and he was able to get it to work. He has a good strategy for maximizing his team's job security. Use a heavily obfuscated style, so now your client is dependent on you to keep their business running. I can just barely maintain his code (I.e., it takes me a day to do something that would take 15 minutes if it was written cleanly.).
