Yes, "Times, they are a'changing". When I first discovered CF (circa 1998) I could earn $10,000 for a typical 1-month project (the same project for the same $ took 3 months in Perl)/
There was lots of business around and I was able to get all the jobs I wanted. But, one of the problems with a system like CF is that it makes developing web sites so much easier and so, appeals to many developers of all levels of expertise. Of course this increases competition. I don't have a solution, but I think the life of a contract CF programmer has moved on ... ...to survive, we must adapt!
