Neal, thanks for taking the poll. The silly terminology was all tongue-in-cheek [?] , and yes, I tried hard to keep it short-and-sweet.
As for the ridiculous term "IT peasant" (I think I made that up): I actually think that quite a few top developers *don't* do the "extras." They focus on doing their jobs well, learn new skills and meet colleagues in the context of their jobs. But the relative proportion of each type is an interesting question that I'm trying to learn more about.
