Well W, Welcome to the board.
How do we address you - W. is so impersonal, is it not?
Will, Willy, William, Bill, Billy or just Tit?

Think he may be something to do with CUK
Honestly you lot are like a pack of hyenas when someone new appears - poor blokes probably sitting in a corner absolutely terrified now - shame on you all
I thought he was a journalist, in which case he's probably shaking in a corner absolutely pissed now, desperately searching for that pint bottle he always keeps hidden about his person.
Only joshing, we all trust and respect the fourth estate (fifth column more like).

There's still time...
I've started to put together the piece for this afternoon, but there's still time if you have an opinion about the "glory days," of IT contracting.
For what it's worth, I think the rise of component based architectures and software services are de-skilling software development and thereby suppressing contract rates. I don't think there will ever be a return to the high rates of the late nineties.
Please PM if you have some ideas.
Cheers
William

Rumour has it current contract rates are not that much lower than those in glory days of Y2k bug, which I think (but not sure as I was permie at the time) were historically highest rates.Comment

Wasn't sure if this was a joke as Franko was mentioned....But who cares if the rates are not the same as in the good ol "boom days" I'm doing fine, and I don't expect money or contracts to land in my lap....I work at it, so it's all up to the individual.

Why do we need a commentator btw? You won't find much on here worthy of a commentary - not since the football match which ended rather embarrassingly in the "gingham dress" incident...His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
