I was just cruising through the coldfusion job postings on the raleigh 
craigslist, and I came across the following in one of the postings:

        This position requires a programmer who is NOT set
        on his/her own methodology. Our team does not create
        un-necessary code with a complicated development
        methodology or process. ItÂ’s very important that you
        can relate to this philosophy.

This is the most brilliant thing I've ever read.  It could only be 
slightly more brilliant if they weren't obviously "anti-framework".

One of my pet peeves has always been people who REQUIRE candidates have 
experience in a specific methodology in order to be considered for a 
job.  In my opinion, any good coldfusion developer can pick up any 
framework they want pretty quickly.  fusebox, mach-ii, model-glue, whatever.

I've been programming in coldfusion for 9 years, and I've never used a 
"framework" of any kind.  NOT because I don't want to, but because I've 
never NEEDED to.  None of my employers have ever asked me to use a 
specific methodology or framework, and maybe that's because I've always 
been on essentially a one person development team.  But that doesn't 
mean I couldn't learn a framework if I was asked to.

Okay, done ranting.

Rick
