I think "Student" means "Student at school". Students are not working, but they do schoolworks.

I know what they were meaning. I was being profound.

What if you are at work as a developer, but pretend to be working?

As long as the boss pays your salary and not only pretending, I guess it's OK.

Seems like more and more I'm cleaning up other people's software mistakes. I guess it is good to be wanted!

Sounds like the kind of job I want – I have had lots of experience cleaning up other people’s code and making it easier to modify in the future.

I keep seeing these survey results, and they are always interesting, but can anyone tell me how to enter my answer to the weekly questions? I can't seem to find the link to any currently running survey which will accept my "vote".
Many thanks to whoever can answer this for me....Chris

On the CP home page (http://www.codeproject.com[^]); the current survey is toward the bottom of the page in the box labelled "Weekly Poll". For this week's, select one of the radio buttons and click the 'Vote' button. I think you need to be a registered CP user in order to vote.

Is login mandatory? I don't think so. It uses IP Address to filter votes.

I was literally offered "the visionary role" the other day. The CEO said "Paul, you're the visionary here so that is what I am calling your role from now on."
I do plenty of programming during the day but also a lot of research and prototyping.
Its great to be paid for this.

He did, instead of a pay rise

I'm the only developer in the company (kinda small). Not very nice being alone, but sometimes I think it's invaluable. Most times, though, I'd like to have a colleague or two.

I have the same problem, its good to bounce an idea off someone else sometimes which is difficult when you work alone and also there's never anytime for training/development - looks like it will be VC++ for evermore!

He he! Luckily I'm doing ASP.NET/C#. Sometimes I just start talking to my colleagues about some dev-related topic. They usually make a puzzled face and keep working.

It's GREAT being the only developer! I don't have to struggle to understand and patch someone's incompetently-written framework. Everything's done the RIGHT way, everything's commented, and I understand the whole system.
At other jobs, I had to struggle to understand undocumented classes, 400-line methods, idiotic algorithms and variable names, and unreliable code, which made me look as bad as my predecessors. Now everything just works.
Other programmers often just cause problems and get in the way.

Good question! Working alone person can reach some point in skills and then stop self development at all. And sometimes when you've developed your own framework and you proud of it - it happens that your "child" looks like a bu***it comparing to another framework. It happens. So I think if you work alone - you can't say that something you do is perfect until it is confirmed by another same or more skilled developers.
