And more importantly, you'd have an incentive to do so.

A flat rate is a win for both sides. The programmer can do what needs to be
done without obsessively tracking time, and the employer has a known cost
that can be submitted to management and accounting.

A talented programmer might be able to do a $10,000 job in a few hours. So
be it. You'd actually rather pay that person $2,000 per hour and have it
done tomorrow than hire some hack at $40/hr and have it take six weeks.
