8/10    The thread below brings up an interesting question for me. I've
        been out long enough now to see several folks' resumes. I see a
        pattern of a couple of years' spin-up through stuff like QA,
        benchmark programming and sysadmin jobs before people hit
        "real" developing jobs. Leaving aside the matter of wunderkids,
        do people find this pattern consistent with their experience
        after graduation? -ulysses
        \_ Why is developing considered more 'real' than sysad?  I get paid
           more than most developers and work less for it, mostly.  -sysad

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that

6/2     Dear sysadm, what is your experience with packaging systems
        (chef, puppet, etc)? What are you recommendations?

           things like rpm and pkg.
