Jenny and others, Here at CFWT we concentrate on billable hours, we are not tied to a 8-5 schedule and our developers routinely wear jeans, flip-flops, t-shirts etc. I already know what it takes to keep developers satisfied. My guidelines are personal. They have help me succeed and advance my income beyond that of a developer - and grow a company - while keeping my family of life in balance (and nothing is MORE important than that). Perhaps there is a reason most technology companies fail in the first 2 or 3 years (ha). You are free to disagree with my "guidelines" and most developers do - including those I employ. But as an employer of 18 CF developers, you might consider giving a bit more credence to my opinion. I'm certainly not coming out of left field with it. I have a lot of experience here. As Gandalf said, "I'm not trying to rob you Bilbo... I'm trying to help you."

Sure, keeping some sort of routine makes sense, but we all work with the routine that suits us. I agree with Sean's comments, too. When working with a Canadian outfit getting into the office at 10am was perfectly acceptable, so was leaving at midnight. I would very occasionally see a developer in a suit and tie when visiting a customer's premises, the rest of the time it was jeans and t-shirts. >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Sean Corfield [mailto:seancorfi...@gmail.com] >>Sent: 24 June 2011 02:54 >>To: cf-talk >>Subject: Re: CF vs. Java Web Developer >> >> >> >>On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 6:53 AM, Mark A.
