I've been using it for years (and am a developer); I still do that sort of thing :-) There'are always something new. Lately, I've learned a lot about DNS and anti-spam in sendmail. Someday I want to learn enough to hack on the kernel in a proficient manner. Of course, by that time, there will probably be hundreds of new programs just waiting for me to learn about :-)
