OHM,
I'm self employee developing a custom software & hardware solution, which I
will eventually market.

Because I have to eat, I have a part time Independent Contractor position
starting tomorrow. ;-)

I take it by a later post you now have a job? If so: Congratulations!

Jay

some of you could put so much effort in if you were in an employment.

CJ,
Personally, I consider this "training", by reviewing and answering questions
you are being exposed to far more situations then most would via your normal
work.

When you then come upon one of these situations in your normal work, you
will have already been exposed to it, thus being able to solve & do your
normal work quicker.

Further I would think answering questions on a newsgroup is far less
unproductive, then watching others via remote desktop. Especially if you are
a developer. I would hope if you are a developer your "boss" knows you are a
professional and treats you as such.

Of course I know a couple developers who act in a very unprofessional
manner, and probably should be watched ;-) However if I were their boss, I
would dismiss them rather then watch them.

Hope this helps
Jay

Hey Jay,

Tahnks for the response... Glad to see someone understands. I've answered

As do I. I have beocome 300 times the programmer I was by participating and
learning from others... Plus, people get the same situations as I do, so I
like to see how they solved it, see if I agree and try to derive my own idea
to at least keep some creativity to the process =).

HA! I'm just a dumb kid fresh out of college... what do I know.

I would highly agree... it's also hard to be productive while being
micro-managed.
Hope this helps

I can dream can't I? =)
