Code monkey culture. I know of atleast some companies that *look* for such people because they want them to do grunt work like fixing tiny bugs, 'resolving issues' and such. All the juicy work (if any) are done by competent people. The unwashed masses are used to oil the cogs. Even colleges are moving towards teaching vocational rather than technical skills. -- ~noufal _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
