@ CP Employees
-
Well, given the amount of work you guys put in to helping improve the CP experience, you ought to at least be honorary employees. Even though I don't use Firefox, I'm still impressed with what I've read about what you guys have done. My 5.

You could always try it out. ;) You might like it. (Although, I'd seriously suggest that you wait a bit for that. The version of CPhog that's currently in beta is orders of magnitude better than the current stable version.)
Oh geez... the forum keeps spinning... you'll take care o f it i'm sure, c'ause ... yeah, i neede this. *cough* anyway good job finding the bug.

I've been wondering about what kind of jobs employees of CP do. I know there are moderators, editors, and some server maintenance people but what else might encompass an employee's job description? Do most CP employees maintain full-time/part-time jobs at other companies? If not, do they do a lot of consulting? My inquiring mind wants to know. PS. I am not looking to get a job at CP. I am just trying to find out what all of these geniuses do. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer
If only it were that easy :) Jobs at CodeProject encompass the obvious editing and content management run by Smitha, SysAdmin and general website maintanence SysAdmin and backend maintanence (myself and Dave), and site development. On top of that, and behind the scenes, is a much, much larger effort geared toward keeping all this running in a way that makes it seem like everything just runs itself. To pay the bills we have Jodi and William in the advertising unit that handles all ad enquiries, sales, material coordination, client relations and marketing. Supporting this is further infrastructure work and system support as well as accounting and, occasionally, legal. I'm usually the bunny for infrastructure, and Dave is good at reading big words in legal documents. On the development side myself, Anish, and two new developers coming on board in the next couple of weeks are working steadily on site upgrades, feature additions, services, updates, bug fixes and optimisations on both the web server and database backend. Business development, SysAdmin, legal, guidance and vision are David's department. He's been in the IT industry for a long, long time so knows many of the industry leaders we need to relate to personally as well as having a good understanding of what's required to keep a business afloat and what mistakes to avoid. We're also developing the Ultimate Toolbox products under the careful nurturing of Nish, with the creative swearing and expertese provided by Christian Graus. Community relations - both with authors, other sites such as those in the CodeZone group, industry leaders and companies such as Microsoft is also a big part and is spread amongst Dave and myself. I myself get around 30Mb of email a day so this in itself is a big task. Directing all of this is spread between David and myself. We're small enough and tight enough that management isn't a huge overhead, but with a site as large as CodeProject everyone is permanently maxed out. We've just had a company meeting discussing what we'd all like to accomplish in the next 3-6 months and the overwhelming requirement is "more bodies" (live, if possible). It's all a hell of a lot of fun and very rewarding, but it's a full time job plus nights and weekends for many of us. cheers, Chris Maunder

Those of us who have a bit more contact with you with respect to site features and the like know that you're constantly busy working on stuff. And we appreciate everything you guys do. Not a day goes by on CodeProject where I don't think, "Man this is the coolest site." I've learned a ridiculous amount from hanging out here and I really do count it as my online home. And remember, if you guys need any help with new features, some cool client-side scripting or whatnot...I might be able to help out a bit. :-D

Neither Shog nor I work for CP. ;P In fact, if Nish is a good representation of the typical CP employee, nobody there will even think of touching those darned "alternative browsers". :rolleyes:

:) I use FF and IE - more IE perhaps. I use FF just so I can use CPHog! The marketing people here only use FF! I assume Chris uses a bunch of browsers, and so would Dave. Not sure what Smitha uses, probably IE. Regards, Nish

One thing that surprises CP is just CP for the last 5 years. Same Lounge, Same discussion boards. (thanks to FF, Greasemonkey, Shog, David Stone for other improvements) You could have done better. Ex: adding blogs support. Current CP blog (via personal message board) sucks. I agree you need more $ and bodies to accomdate that. Given CP stature that can be done easily. Yesterday I ran across site http://codebetter.com/[^] I like their layouts and blog webdesign. Got Signature?
