If CP was a company...

...where would you fit in? And/or, where would you like to fit in? In my company, its all about resources - finding the warm body with the skills to do X. I figure CodeProject has an embarrasment of riches - but who wants to do what? We're talking multi-national IT consulting firm here - what would you like to put on your card? Network admin? UI design specialist? Biztalk guy/gal? SQL Server person? QA? PM? Software Specialist? COO? Myself, I can make the speaker beep. Sadly, there's not a lot of call for this skill at the moment, but I'm hoping that's just indicative of a cyclical market. (No, I am not recruiting for CP or any other company. Just impressed by the range of talent that has become addicted to hangs out on CP, and thought I'd ask. Also, MMs post below got me thinking about skill/job targeting)

Sorry dood - we're contracting that one out. Besides, you wouldn't want to have to clean up after Wally, Flapper, and our Corporate Whipping Boy have their weekly sales meeting. Trust me on this one. It gets gooey.

You're in. Good - a Greek CEO will give us the international flavor we need. (P.S. HR will need to relocate to the Athens office.)

Hey don't yell at me, tell it to the CEO! (Whew... and not a moment too soon... shields up, CWB!)

Well, my colleague Mike and I would be the Special Ops team. You know, doing all the dangerous and/or insane stuff, like debugging multithreaded applications, researching new software techniques, and generally doing the impossible. It's not like it's any different from what we normally have to do here :-) -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

And by that, I mean there needs to be ticking nuclear bombs, some suitably techno-enhanced uber-terrorists, and a subtle kernel32.dll bug on the water utilities computerised sewer management system that only shows when one of the inhabitants of the house of attractive medical students down the road uses the shower (this will need considerable diagnostics performed). Otherwise, I can put you in contact with some Crystal Reports developers - they're used to wading in crap! :-D -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

Colin Angus Mackay wrote: What's wrong with Janitor? It seems like a perfectly good word to me. That's a fairly polite version of my own response, but it appears that Janitor is now considered demeaning. I have no idea why, but then, I'm probably not the most PC person you're likely to encounter, so perhaps that's not surprising...
