Slightly off topic, but in my tutorial last night we were talking about organisational culture and politics in different industries. People in my tutorial come from a broad range of backgrounds, including government departments, large management firms, research companies, and IT. Were were asked to list the things that cause conflict in our industry.
Myself and another programmer, and an ex-sysadmin did some brainstorming. It turned out that IT had almost double the amount of things to argue about than any other industry. We argued about technologies, methods, trends, management structures, profitability and efficiency, amongst others. It was voted that workers in the IT industry had the greatest amount of political challenges, these were fueled by internal and external factors (e.g. "We should all be using .net because most of our staff know it" vs. "We should all be using .net because our customers want it"). It seems that we become stuck in the middle and the only real way to solve things (in a perfect world) is to collaborate. I.e. with web services (in a perfect world), .net and Java could talk with CF, without the need for extensive integration. CF could be used for it's web development strengths, and PHP, java, and .net used for their OO strengths. The problem is that we do not want to work together. Makes me wonder, why can't we all be friends? My two cents (balance = 7c) Joel -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Haikal Saadh Sent: Tuesday, 9 May 2006 9:47 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Where have all the CF developers gone? I've actually fantasied taking that 10%, wrapping in functions, and injecting in on startup to web-inf.component. Or extend web-inf.component, and include those methods, and have all my code extend the new and improved component. Has anyone done this yet? If not, why?
