Why is there a tendency for IT geeks to be big headed for no reason whatsoever?

[eek]

ouch! eek - I thought you liked me!

You're not anonymous I know you - Kelvin Mackenzie.

I've noticed this trend - some geeks on here solve some trivial programming problem and then think they're intellectual gods who know and understand about every other issue going.
It only makes you look like the average fools you are.
Anyone of average ability can code.
There are some real excellent pros, but they're not going to be boasting on this forum.

HTH.

At 400 pound/day for SAS, you have not mixed with those high end pros you speak of.

SAS Contracts, Contractor Rates for SAS System Skills

It's like Rolf Harris criticising Led Zeppelin for being boring.

Thanks for proving my point. You obviously have no idea about SAS - the rates you're quoting are for pharma programmers probably. High-end DW, architect and modelling specialists are on far more.
But what would an average code monkey like you know about those skills?

[sasguru]

Look, I had one little success in an endless sea of unmitigated sewage that swamps me on a daily basis. And I mentioned it. next time, if there is a next time, I'll keep me gob shut

You're not one of the prime candidates I was thinking of.
Gentile, AussieLoser, there are many above you.
Although now you come to mention it ...

"Retired" life so thrilling you have to spend it trolling an IT Contractor forum?

How's your Superbike, Porsche Panamera, Toyota GT 86, villa in Portugal, Math degree, BTL empire, incredible wealth, etc panning out in your mind?

Superbike - sold.
Porsche - wasn't serious about that.
Toyota gt86 - ordered.
Villa in Portugal - fine aFAIK.
Math degree - going slowly.
BTL empire - not an empire, one property, going well.
incredible wealth - I wish.

HTH

How's your skank-shagging going?

Yeah. Good point DP.

Get back to work sg before the missus gets home and rips you a new one!

[TestMangler]

I think he's parked his sports cars and superbikes next to your gold reserves, so have a wander around your head and you'll no doubt run into him

[sasguru]

But it's the self-deluding sense of superiority that I find most amusing.

I know!

Well done Sas you really got them going with a surprisingly obvious troll.
