Clients almost always want it fixed-price, but those same clients, when it comes to the actual project, they turn into agile scope creepers.

It is very important to discuss all this upfront with clients, many of them have no idea of estimation, the mythical man month and are horrible at knowing fully their ideas, the level of detail, before work starts yet will want fixed. It is especially bad on clients new to apps/games/web or their first attempt who just see surface level tasks.

Iteration and a more agile approach will hopefully find the way into business and mba textbooks/processes. Right now almost everyone wants fixed-price and flexibility to change at will. This will only hurt developers/designers and ultimately the project chance of success.

And don't get me started on non-competes the most anti-innovation, anti-business, anti-american (if you are in the US) thing ever being fully pushed by business at every turn. Most non-competes want you to come in to help a company compete, then once they know how or you have built it for them so they can compete, you can no longer compete any longer for a time because you helped them, makes sense for kings/owners/dictators but not fair business.
