I’m a geek. I’ve worked in IT for years. Most of that time was spent as a network administrator, some of it was also spent writing VERY minimal ColdFusion and PHP. I’ve never had a job as a full-on developer. I’ve been using ColdFusion for 10 years, and I’m proficient with most of the ins and outs of how it works. It’s mostly just been a hobby for me. The only time I’ve ever been paid to do any kind of development was when I wrote a back-end tool to save some manual effort at a job of mine, and a few pieces here and there I did for Free Talk Live. Sure, I’ve always wanted to be a professional developer, but that’s just not the way the career has gone up to this point. It took me a while to figure out how to classify where my skill level and experience fit….
From this point on, I wish to be known as a “recreational ColdFusion developer”.
Anyone else?
