    Thing is you'll probably make it to retirement before you're busted.
    You charge extortionate rates - less than market rate

    complain all the time - half the time, when requirements aren't communicated properly or instructions aren't followed

    leave the job angry - depends on how many perms I've worked with who've made me think 'how are you even alive' due to their complete incomptence - would probably be more angry if having to work with them all the time so is a good trade off

    bugger up the project only for your replacement to gasp in astonishment - they don't tend to replace me with someone of the same caliber so they would be unable to spot an cock-ups I've (naturally) made until they can skill up

    then again I don't consider myself a cowboy
    sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

    there is no art in a factory, not even in an art factory - Mixerman

    everyone is stupid some of the time - trad.
