I work solely on contracts for external companies.<p>If a job with Z features is negotiated for $X you can&#x27;t just throw in a couple more engineers, give them a couple features they didn&#x27;t ask for, and charge $Y. You can only charge work on a project if that work is specified in the contract. Otherwise that&#x27;s fraud.<p>And anyway, you&#x27;re apparently going to hire all the engineers who ask you out to lunch (according to this article) so you&#x27;re going to have a whole lot of engineers very soon if you are hiring this way.
