  A good consultant is like a mid-wife, we guide you and
  help you make the right technical (and even business)
  decisions early on

I'm gonna have to steal that mid-wife analogy. Good article!

Thanks! I actually stole that from Plato. Socrates thought of himself as a "midwife of ideas" in the Theaetetus (http://philosophycourse.info/lecsite/lec-socmidwife.html)

Fantastic article.

Thanks articulating your perspective.

Great Article. We have a lot of this Biz folks that 'just need to find a programmer' here in Houston. There seem to be plenty of opportunities to help those folks out. It is great when they are able to pay for the help as well.
