    Neither are hookers and I'm sure they service businesses and the IT community in some respect, and you won't hear them complaining about money (Unless you don't anti up).

      Why are you talking to yourself. How bored are you. Has everyone of the care home sent you to Coventry again?
      Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

      Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        Ante?

        Or is this some bizarre sexual practice I don't know about?

          News to me if it is. Though anti up, with my spelling would suggest something scatological. In which case I don't wanna know ...

            1. At the bottom, hardware support
            2. OS/networking support.
            3. Enterprise software set up and config (SAP configurers etc)
            4. Developers (web, applications)
            5. BI specialists (credit risk etc)
            6. Creatives (creators of new languages, OSs)


            Outside this hierarchy we have the various non-clever parasites: BAs, PMs etc.
            From what perspective?

            Value to business, technical expertise, project delivery...

            Or is this how you specify reports in SAS?

              I would have thought users (although we all hate them even though we too are users) would be numero uno, as without users we don't have jobs

                On the recent Five Live Donal MacIntyre radio thing 'Analyst / Programmer' was described as 'entry-level'. I disagree with this. I think you have to earn your spurs a bit before you can add the 'Analyst' bit.

                  In terms of difficulty developer is right at the top, mostly because they are expected to deliver something that relies on the input of most of the other disciplines regardless of whether or not that input is provided. They also have to do the most difficult work whilst being looked down upon by everyone else, which is baffling.

                    In my experience:

                    IT Support (box swappers)
                    System Administrators (tape changers)
                    Testers
                    DBAs
                    =Business Analysts
                    =Developers
                    Project Managers
                    System Architects
                    Program Managers
