That is why consulting and outsourcing exist, you only pay for developers while you actually need them.

There are even companies outside software business, that pay contractors per tickets, basically a budget is assigned and the contractor does as much tickets as they are capable of for the given budget.

Now the quality of the code is not for the faint of heart.

This ignores the changing nature of consumer demand and competitive pressure. Often time, implementations should be treated as a product that needs nurturing rather than a one off project where you get to the finish line and you're done.

That is why I explicitly made the point that selling software isn't these companies main business, for them it is just a cost center.
