Chet. Only 300? Hahaha

You may remember me talking about the Java system at St. Jude. Last Fri
it made the Biz section of our paper. No Web deliver of it :(

Anyway 20 people in total, 12 at a time created this Java wonder that
took First Place in a National Medical Software Competition. It beat
out allot of pharmaceutical stuff. And it raised allot of eyebrows in
Medical Research communities.

Time frame was 2.5 years. It had a few major changes along the way and
because of the Architect it's great. Fully data driven, and a new
researcher can get a custom interface for their study in about 2->10
hours of time. It use to take me 2 days to 2 weeks in my FPD system to
make the necessary changes to the existing forms I had to fit what they
needed new in their current study.

Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply
press Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?

Small for me is 100 or less in one location. Most of my work over the
years has been for this kind of operation.

Medium is 101-500 -- and/or "smallish" with multiple locations.

Large is about 500-10000 -- I've been lucky enough to avoid these
obscenities except for my first and last job*.

Metastized - over 10,000 - Impossible to innovate in one of these.

Just my opinions.

* At that job they had about 300 programmers--mostly "C", Java, VB, SQL
Server and they still couldn't re-write the FoxDos system that worked
fine that 12 of us supported. What a zoo! What a hotbed of politics
and wasted time and energy!
