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

Boomed!!!! ish....
My contract finished on the 15th Sept with clientco. It was always an unwritten clause that I would be extended. Had a quick chat with the VP who hired me and is a mate.
