It's an interesting technique to drum up business in the short term, but it seems ultimately self destructive--if the code you are responsible is dying constantly then it just makes you look incompetent.<p>> In 2008, after changes to his consulting arrangement with the company, BSR offered Wimberly a job as a full time employee, hoping to replace his consulting fees with a salary. Wimberly rejected that offer and, instead, increased his fee for maintaining the games by 250%.<p>Wow, that's cut-throat! Though I suppose we don't know his rate before and after (maybe he went from $10/hour to $35/hour).
