Hi Folks, I work as a developer however I only recently began developing full time having worked for 5 years in various roles. When it comes to career planning I think I pretty much agree with The Journeyman to Craftsman model coined in The Pragmatic Probrammer and used by Bob Martin. I see myself as a journeyman and I won't call myself a "good" (for want of a better word) until I re-evaluate my skills in 5 years time.

However, as part of our careers we are encouraged to make one and three year plan with specific goals that we should hit. Unfortunately, my goal is this:

• Write clean code that solves a problem and is easy to maintain.

From a technology point of view I want to know C++ and .net programming inside out(C#, WCF etc..)

But that's it. That's my plan. Is this enough?

So although there's a great discussion on what people should do with their career: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11313/career-planning-any-tips

My question is this:

What's your one year plan?

What's your three year plan?

And am I being naive with my career?

Thanks,
