RE: Where are the Los Angeles Developers?
I own a 4,000 square foot house in the Dallas Fort Worth area for $200k And in Los Angeles.. that would be over $1 million. -Original Message- From: Dave Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 10:23 PM To: CF-Jobs-Talk Subject: RE: Where are the Los Angeles Developers? I agree with this. Also, many more developers are able to work remotely and live in 'less expensive' areas but still work for companies where the cost of living is higher. I have a contract with a Fortune 500 company based in Arkansas, my manager is in Pennsylvania, and I live and work from my home office in Texas. It's a regular 40 hour a week contract position, they just don't require to be on site. If they required me to be on site in Pennsylvania, there's no way I would take the contract. I own a 4,000 square foot house in the Dallas Fort Worth area for $200k but in Pennsylvania, that would cost a minimum of $600k (if I'm lucky). I suggest finding a way to hire EXPERIENCED remote employees. This will expand your base of potential talent, and if you get someone experienced, you have a better chance of not hiring someone who 'abuses' the opportunity to work remotely, but instead, is actually more productive because they're not always dealing with 'working in the office' issues such as jacking around with the other developers and not working very hard. Yes, there is risk with hiring remote employees, but it can work if you find the right person. Maybe you can even offer to have them come work on site for one month on a 'temporary' basis, and if you like them (and their work ethic) and they like you, then go perm after a month and go back to work from home. Even people with families can spring for a month on the road if they know it could turn into a long term perm position where they can work from home. The technology is readily available for app develepors to work remotely successfully, more companies need to just start doing it. That's my 3 cents... ;) Dave -Original Message- From: Phillip B.

LOLone could argue the converse of that, too. Where are all the jobs for the mid-level developers? Seriously, this is the first one I have seen in a while. Being a mid-level developer myself, I keep an eye out for them, somewhat. I am happy where I am at, but it never hurts to look over the fence to the other side!

RE: software developers vs web-site developers?
This has the making of an IQ test questions... If some programmers are engineers and some engineers are developers... -Original Message- From: Johnny Le [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 2:13 PM To: CF-Jobs-Talk Subject: Re: software developers vs web-site developers? Hi Mike, You confused me even more. In your ad, you distinguished between software developers and web site developers, but here you distinguish between engineers and programmers. Are you saying software developers are like engineers and web site developers are like programmers? Johnny Actually, it was the recruiters language, not mine. On the other hand, I am writing an article to distinguish between programmers and software engineers. The difference can be summarized as an engineer has the time and ability to plan out a whole application from 0 to finish. They use UML, OO, and full documentation before beginning. A programmer usually does not have the time or ability to do all that. They write code for an app that may be standalone, may be an extension of something already in existence or a patch for a bug. There's little planning vs. implementing and usually little documentation. For example, I'm mainly a programmer. I don't have the luxury of doing full scale planning for my own stuff or at my job. I can do the full engineer thing with pages of docs, designs, etc. but it falls down to time. I need to implement something now, not 3-6 months down the road. An engineer is looking at that time frame or more. This is not to say an engineer is not a programmer or a programmer is not an engineer. It's saying that the approach, mindset and focus is different. ~| Purchase Contribute 3 from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=53 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2159 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:11 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
