With most of the jobs I have had (Here in the US), web developers usually
are not only the developers, but also the DBA, sys admin, network admin,
project manager, etc...

I can certainly tell, that we have very different views as to which
constitutes a quote-unquote developer.

In keeping with the automotive analogies, I feel that what Raymond is
essentially saying, is that he would not hire you to drive a car, unless you
were a mechanic.
I feel differently about this, as I would rather hire a chauffeur to drive
me around than a mechanic - but this is my personal preference of course.

Would I expect my chauffeur to be able to diagnose a flat tire and change
it? Absolutely.
Would I expect him to be able to diagnose and fix a problem in the engine
management system? Absolutely not.

In the same way I personally feel, that although a developer should know (or
be able to deduce) about potential security issues like the ones you
describe, I would not expect him to know about all the internals of the
server.

If nothing else, I think we can safely say, that Mr. Camden would not
employee me, as I would much rather leave setting up servers and the likes,
to those who specialize in precisely that :)

(oh and on a side note, I find it very interesing to learn about the
obviously different views expressed in this thread - gives a man something
to ponder)
