  1. Well Ill tell you. I was not expecting any CSS help, apparently you have untapped talent (SRS) I just threw the sheet out there out of pure frustration. SRS pointed me in the right direction, and after finding the way this software works, found the issue. I just don't like designing sites, I like to keep the databases and servers working, along with the networking systems themselves, data forensics that's what we did over seas, they really didn't care what things look like, just the raw data and intelligence. You will find that a great many things depend on what you need, or what you think you need. As far as beating the the thing to death, sometimes that's what it came down to, your team depends on you. It carried over I guess, I don't like to lose. I suggest you may have other untapped skills and resources at your disposal, maybe you can avail yourselves of them. Sometimes they just don't like to come out and say what they can do. I don't mean just computers, but other untapped human resources of your members. Maybe with some thought, you can increase traffic, and Help The Grey's more. Just to throw things out, maybe a non profit organization for Grey's the very thing this site is based upon. Maybe a group to lobby Congress for the plight of the Grey's. I know everyone is busy with their lives, just trying to get by. Just a thought..........I'm just a former DOD contractor and IT guy. Im good at what I do. What are you guys good at doing? I Know what SRS is good at lol

  2. I'm actually not a front-end developer. I have a like/hate for front end work. I like it in that you can actually see something cool (or hideous in some cases) when you're done. But on the flip side it's what everyone bitches about because they can see it. We just finished a three month long project developing an Angular/Node.js front end to our call processing server which is by far the most critical piece. The front-end was a very small part of the project. Yet we're a typical company where a few of us do the work while the rest justify their positions and you can guess what they chose to complain about! It would be impossible for them to find something wrong with the throughput of the call processing or scalability issues or something useful because they have zero skills but that's how it works. It sucks too because those of us in the development group are not allowed to work from home whereas test/documentation/implementation/etc are. The owners know who makes the grass grow. However back in 2006 when the economy went to crap and they needed to cut the fat...guess which groups were let go - not one developer ate it. All that to say I'm actually sort of a backend dev: some middleware, some database, c++ tools & utilities etc. I get dragged into front-end work usually kicking and screaming.
