Notes:

Wayne, Steve, Cory, and I on a server meeting. Currently, most of the servers are doing pretty good. Thank you to Wayne!

We started to talk about some other projects that Wayne has started. One of them is a transition between a file called Application.cfm (traditional application structure code - line by line - notice the .cfm file extention) and a newer concept called Application.cfc (more functions, method, components, and trigger based events - notice the .cfc file extention). This project is part of a bigger project where we take tons and tons of settings (literally hundreds of settings) and put them into a corporation type object in memory so that we don't have to hit the database so many times for each setting.

Wayne would like to work with Alan and then transfer this project over his way. After Alan works on it for awhile, we may end up transferring it over to another developer to get it finished. Some of the developers don't like to do the tedious or super repetitive part of the project. It is more fun to solve the project vs having to make hundreds of similar changes to existing pieces. It is hard to motivate them to keep going and get things finished up. The really good ones seem to loose momentum and motivation once the bigger push or challenge has been fixed. That's pretty normal.

Our plan is to help use Cory to help follow-up and figure out if we need to add pressure, pull certain projects, and/or transfer the guys to different pieces of the same or different project. Otherwise you get lack of motivation and even burnout. Everybody has to push through certain things, but we may see what we can do to keep things moving and flowing.

Some of the projects are super high level system architecture type projects and some are just routine maintenance. Not all projects are created equally. :)

Towards the end of the meeting, Wayne was having fun showing us some food and cooking stuff. It is fun to figure out what makes these guys tick and what they like to do with their free time.

After Wayne left, Cory and I jumped back into doing some custom code quotes for a client. They have some needs in the delivery arena and we were trying to put together some options and solutions.
