[consulting] REVISED RFP FOR DRUPAL DEVELOPER

I didn't perceive or intend any "skewering." Seemed to me it was
consultants offering friendly advice about how to make an RFP more
attractive to developers. I'm going to guess the client who prefer
/high-quality skills/ in their service provider over mere /ambition/.

Even "ambitious developers" can get things done cheap, but rarely fast
or good. Heck, that describes my first year of Durpal consulting. I
gave a lot of people some great deals, but if I could do far better
work in half the time rebuilding those same sites today. But then and
now, I wouldn't commit to a fixed timeline that short.

All the Best,

Matt
