Hey insur,
This thread is in the General section of the forum and therefore is a free-for-all. If you wanted constructive discussion then best to post in Business / Contracts - sorry should have moved this over to there when I saw it.
I think the thread has now run its course.

Let me think, you know VB6, Cobol, SQL, C, C++, Java, C#, Ruby on Rails, Asp.net, JAvaScript, MVC and Struts.
But couldn't explain the concept of Cohesion in one simple sentence.
You spend your days fixing bugs and tweaking code written by others.
Enjoy your day.
Shut up and move on going back to the original problem

Off you pop.
Your probably the sad lonely little prick who believes EEK is your internet friend and you need to stick up for him.
Going by the 90 odd posts you have put up on here, perhaps you should get out a little more and make some real friends.
Now get back to ejaculating while thinking about EEK.

Originally posted by insur View PostI have always found on a large scale development project, the strongest developers have specialised in a single stack.
They are given the most challenging apects of a greenfield development project.
I agree, there is always an aspect of a project that requires for instance adding web services to a legacy backend, however I have found a company may hire the odd contract developer to work on this aspect. The developer also tends to be pretty weak when discussing subjects such as IOC and DI and detail. The jack of all trades tends to be a bit of a hacker and this is normally refelected in the rate they are paid.

In development, no one wants to hire a jack of all trades and master of none.
A CV with a mish mash of development languages in the current contract world is useless.
