They are paid based on a milestone. Milestone is spec'd out and they are paid based on attaining that goal. So technically I do get unlimited hours.

Hacking doesn't work that way; software engineering does. If you don't understand the difference, your startup is in trouble.

Milestones are comprised of objective and goals. Hacking can easily be structured as either a goal or objective.

If you have all the answers why ask the questions?

The only way I see this as possible is if you sit down with a "front end" graphics guy and create every page. Then have the programmer put the code behind it.
But beware the code that is written it will be hard for another programmer to pick up on. Everyone writes code differently and it is just suprising in one language how many different ways there is to create a solution.
But if you want someone to work a practically unlimited number of hours as is most often the case then you are going to either need to pay the person to work two 8 hour shifts, hire additional programers, or give the programmer some equity in the business.
