I couldn't agree more on this, I will admit that I was fired from a position just recently. I had been working on average 18 hours a day, to complete a web site on time; the problem was that the company CEO was not interested in security flaws or anything else that might be a problem just that he had to have the site done.
Because of the hours and pressure (I was the only developer for about 2 months, as he was a tight ass) I ended up over stressed and was ordered by my Dr to take time off, and then out of the mid field while I was off with a certificate boom I was fired because I was not able to finish his work for him. In Australia we have new privacy laws that are about to be enforced, I am not sure on the exact date. But if this guy isn't very careful he could be sued because it wouldn't take much for a robot to scan the site for personal details, and that was by just looking at the design of the site and having a quick look at the html files!! -----Original Message----- From: Carlisle, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 29 November 2001 12:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: "Why aren't there more CF programmers out there?" Kudos! This thread is most interesting. :) Just what I needed to wake up and get the mind churning. There's only one piece of advice I can offer that hasn't been said already. Beware employers who are reluctant to spend money to produce professional Web sites. I've created too many bubble gum & scotch tape products because employers wouldn't shell out the cash needed for a professional solution. Budget is always a concern, but professional projects often require professional tools. Half baked tools will often result in half baked products, regardless of your talent or enthusiasm. Thankfully I work in a place that acknowledges this. Hang in there :) EC -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 5:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: "Why aren't there more CF programmers out there?" I still have my very first program, I admit it only prints hello to the screen. Now if only I could find that binary card reader to read it!! Octal, Hex, Binary oh they were the days and nothing was really complex as it is now. Although admittedly I think our lives have become a lot easier and complex at the same time when it comes to programming. -----Original Message----- From: lsellers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2001 3:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: "Why aren't there more CF programmers out there?"

It used to be all the rage in the 70's. Back when men were real men and programmed in direct machine language. Not that nancy assembly language. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
