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.

Yep - lesson learned on this too, I think...

Shut up and move on going back to the original problem

No, you shut up.

[SimonMac]

I take it your one of the jack of all trades then?

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.

Lets just put this to bed, there are 20 people who have contributed to this thread, 19 off which don't agree with you.

Well, I'll tell you what he isn't, he's not the whinging, whining bastard who started this thread.

Off you pop.

I didn't realise EEK needed a prat like you to speak for him.

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.

Thankfully not.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Bug fixing.

Every day is a new challenge to be enjoyed in the wonderful world of eyer edjumakshen.

Looking at my current rate of pay I really wouldn't be too sure about that. Then again I don't think many people on here are pure code monkeys unlike you.

I 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.

Is that what CM tells you when she gives you your pocket money?

Let's leave the boss out of this, eh?

[SimonMac]

WSMS, they pay the money, you is their biatch!

To my mind, to survive in the development world, you have to be able to adapt, else CleintCo will get in someone else who can

To my mind, to survive in the development world, we have to stay current, which is what I am at the moment.

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.

In this current contract world clients want contractors who can deliver. End of.

...and most aren't too fussy about the quality of what's delivered.
