I see myself as a problem solver. The less code I have to write to get to a solution, the better in my eyes. The closer I can get a client to a solution with an off the shelf solution, the less code I have to code/maintain. Of course there's a trade-off involved but you know what I mean. That being said, I'd have to admit that my Java platform skills have diminished over the years I've been involved with .NET...I do have a strong natural aversion to learning/refreshing on a customer's dime (even to the extent of billing half when doing work that is exploratory). So even though I can claim more knowledge in Java development than most Java "consultants", my likelihood to accept a project drops significantly once Java enters the picture. http://ayende.com/3600/i-refuse-to-be-an-type-developer#comment7http://ayende.com/3600/i-refuse-to-be-an-type-developer#comment7Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:26:09 GMTDoug commented on I refuse to be an [type] developercouldn't you be a Type() developer? http://ayende.com/3600/i-refuse-to-be-an-type-developer#comment6http://ayende.com/3600/i-refuse-to-be-an-type-developer#comment6Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:58:27 GMTjosh commented on I refuse to be an [type] developerI solve problems in with code.
