I know I am REALLY late getting into this, but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Where do you want to be in the next 5 years?
Still being a grunt coder, just being told what to code by project leaders? If you want to just be a gunt programmer that can charge more, are you looking to just build your resume (either by language, database, graphical skills, etc.) ?
Leading teams of coders? If so, in what role do you want to lead them? Just divving up tasks (with application parameters already given to you)?
Application desgn (Structure/ framework/ graphical design) of applications?
What about just being an architect lead, that decides what technologies (hardware, database/ CSS/ script, etc. ) to use, consultant like?
Obviously some of these terms (architect, lead, senior, team, design, etc.) will vary from company to company. Check some place like computerjobs.com to see some wariances.
What about the guy that just is the liason between the project manager (either internal or external) or consultant and the developers, deciding how long projects should take and such other parameters of the project (depending on the project parameters)?
Or do you want to go into more of a mangerial role and pulling away from coding? Going more into the technical consultant or a project manager role?
Look ahead as to where you want to be later on, not just next month.

Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF. Object oriented & its future. General Questions.oops... sorry about that.. Only reason I asked was because i thought people might not have noticed them because we had so much discussion about CFC's & also because many clients ask for design skills (template work) + CF and I just wanted to get idea what ppl think about the design.
I am sorry if I sounded too pushy...I wont do it again...
Apologies.
Ajas.
