@Mike: Did you read his blog post? He said he quit his job because he felt he wasn't getting on-the-job opportunities to expand his CF skills and he wanted to get a job where he could learn from experienced CF developers. He's not under the delusion that he knows all there is to know about CF; he wants an opportunity to learn more.
@Henry: I have to agree with some of the other folks who've responded that it may be difficult to find a new CF position with only 1-year of experience (even though it sounds like you've got at least a handle on MG, ColdSpring, and Transfer), but I do hope you can find a new CF job. >Do you honestly think that with a year developing coldfusion under >your belt, that you know all there is to know that's worth knowing? > >If so, then it's time to find a new career or a new branch of this one. > >However I suspect that in truth you've barely scratched the surface. >If you're only doing the same things day after day, you're probably >not gaining any experience.
