>There have always been programmers and developers. Programmers IMO are code jockeys which are tightly controlled and limited in scope, this has never interested me. Developers are designers, planners, analysts, programmers, testers, trainers, etc. This is where the real action (and money) is. This requires alot more knowlege, not only of programming, but of business, human nature, people skills, and organization. I wouldn't want to be involved in projects where I wasn't involved in the big picture.

Perfectly put. At VFE Devcon last year I quoted my hourly rate to another guy there. He said "You mean people in Cleveland will pay that kind of money for programming?" I told him no, they'd pay that kind of money for having business problems solved. They didn't care if I did it with programming or voodoo dolls.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
