You were thinking of How many CF developers does it take to screw in a light bulb?. Just one. The light bulb costs more than open source alternatives, but is easier to turn on and off and leverages the power of the same underlying Java filament. ~Brad LOL!

Yeah, same with us, although we have over 300 independent sites they currenty all share the same code base etc so we manage one code base and 300 sites within our web farm. So, yes we manage 300 but in all reality we may not touch any of them since launch: This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions

It really depends on the sites. I've managed as many as 50 CF sites and also do new development at the same time. Some of them are stable and hardly ever get touched. Others are constantly changing and require a lot of work. It's not really the number of sites that's the issue, it's the total

By manage sites I mean, manage all cf code on both developement and production servers. Manage all aspects of expansion/creation of existing and new CF applications. Manage all aspects of database. Creation of Flash movies, which include Actionscript and video editing using Premiere Pro.

The question how many sites does a CF developer manage is hard to answer because it's kind of random and meaningless. It doesn't take into consideration anything like complexity, traffic, users, etc. I mean, I manage something like 8 web sites at work. But really only 2-3 of them require any
