I'm telecommuting for a very large corporation as a senior developer for over 6 months now. I've had great success in driving the team into a direction which I feel is best for specific projects and the team as a whole.

Re:To all who Think Themselves a Programmer on Tuesday July 07, 2009 @06:30PM (#692734)

I guess they want to hire a programmer who would refuse to find the simplest solution to the problem but rather obfuscate it, making maintainability a nightmare.

People who receive free software really have no right to complain about it, if it isn't working as they want it to. They didn't pay dime for it.
