So apparently everyone on slashdot is expected to be a developer? WTF
Exactly. There is a whole lot more to IT than writing software. The unix admins, windows admins, other OS admins, DBAs, network people, telecoms people, hardware people, user support people, and so on must outnumber developers by at least 10 to 1.

And there is a whole lot more to writing software than IT and desktop computing. I am an embedded software developer. I also do some electronics and design work in that area. I write software for microcontrollers that typically have say 4k of RAM and run at 8MHz or less. No OS, no C++ or object oriented stuff, just raw C and assembler on the bare metal.
