And my statement is just about this statement in general.

I am sure you are and dont let that general statement get to you. It is a general statement and does not apply to every coder. In most proffessional environments a lot of coders are being thrusted into a more direct customer communication environment. The liaisons that once existed are being phased out.

My brother was a top ten programmer for Intel and just wrapped up some work with Rasmus Lerdorf. He is now working for Google. Thinking of him having to do what other mods here do is insane to me. The guy hardly leaves his room and to talk to him is like talking to a robot. He represents the extreme old school coders. I dont think anyone here is like that, but their are still certain aspects of that lifestyle that are present.

It was for your good looks....
