I'm looking to get away from contract programming, to being a consultant.
A contract programmer will write a software package, whether for an hourly or a fixed rate.
An example of consulting I've actually done, is that a client flew me from San Jose to Albuquerque to look into why his programmer's application repeatedly crashed. After an hour or so of discussing it with him, I determined that his custom memory allocator was not respecting the alignment restrictions of the CPU.
That second case is what I'd like to do. It's not about the money, it's that I would like more people to benefit from my many years of experience.
