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 :-)

Yes! Pretty much all I've done for years. An old hn post of mine...

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.
