I've been thinking about this over the past day or so while following this thread. I'm not sure there has to be a consensus on a particular level of programming experience in any language, including the language that your flavor of *BSD is built with. When investigating problems or doing day-to-day tasks I believe it is more important to know your chosen approaches' limit, then have the ability to compile your findings up until this point and seek out and present them to someone with a different approach to take you further.
It may seem like offloading part of your job to someone else but realistically we cannot know everything about everything just to do our jobs. From personal experience I find this helps to bridge the sysadmin / developer gap as well. Administrators over time learn more about programming and programmers learn more about systems administration. Everyone wins. -A "I am Jack's witty little signature." _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
