Just a very delightful quote from the link above:

<quote>To me, however, a programmer is who I'm looking for, while a resume full of revenue increases and cost reductions sounds like an "anomalously high-cost parasite who types some mumbo-jumbo into Excel and PowerPoint, claiming credit for others' work".</quote>

Mind you, I am not saying that value-adding is a bad-thing. But given all the opportunities these days, Flash storage for example makes a world of difference, it is amazing how stubbornly all those PowerPoint mumbo-jumbu types resist. Usage of these technologies (in jargon, embracing technology) can add big bucks.

Oh boy, they love powerpoints and meetings as much as they lack technical skills, in my experience.
