It goes both ways. Let me tell you about interviewing $170k/yr. stuffed shirts that go on about 50 person 24 month projects that spent 18 months before the first code was written, how they are Rational ROSE studs, etc. - anything but freakin' coding!

I don't need that.

True. You end up with lots of "analysts" and "project leaders" and no programmers. A whole department dedicated to protecting their own asses instead of churning out work. And they live in a constant state of "Analysis Paralysis" and wonder why they get outsourced.

When I worked at AT&T, we used to dread hiring programmers because the first thing out of their mouths after hiring was "I'm not very technical". Great. Another baby to rock.
