It's worse than that. I started as a DBA, moved into development, spent time as an architect, and now am mainly a Project Manager though I do dip back into architecture occasionally. I do try to describe the types of projects I've run, and that usually leads to a discussion of the technologies we've used. So if you're looking for a PM with enough Python to be dangerous, ok. If you're looking for a heads down Python developer... then I have to question if your read ANYTHING in my resume or just had an automated bot send emails to any address where the resume had that keyword. Most folks send out enough of these that I can just ignore them. But at least a couple times a week I get calls following up and asking why I didn't respond. Um... Hello? I was not aware that I had accepted any responsibility to help you just because I have an email address. Of course those are also the folks who say "well, you must know some people who can do this." Yes, yes I do. But why on earth would I give you their info (or give them yours)?

My more than .02 worth :-)
